Summary
DSTIP Networks
educational research amateur-radio
DSTIP is operated by DSTIP Networks LLC.
What it's used for
- The address space carries infrastructure for amateur radio digital communications, evidenced by the netname
AMPRNETregistered to Amateur Radio Digital Communications for the prefix44.4.58.0/24. - The AS announces 512 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 9 IPv6 prefixes, with only 2 observed neighbours, indicating a small-scale, non-transit network focused on specific research or hobbyist applications rather than general internet access.
- Traffic from this AS consists of data related to amateur radio digital communication experiments and educational research projects, consistent with the operator's classification as an educational/research entity.
Notable
- Registrants align with the announcer for the primary prefix
23.179.128.0/24(netnameDSTIP-V4, registrant DSTIP Networks LLC), while the secondary prefix44.4.58.0/24is registered to Amateur Radio Digital Communications, reflecting the organization's specific focus. - The inventory is small and specialized, consisting of a single /24 block under the operator's own netname and another /24 dedicated to amateur radio, with a substantial IPv6 allocation in the
2620:12f:e000::/41range.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-24, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
