Summary
Gap, Inc.
business retail corporate
THE-GAP-INC is operated by Gap, Inc., a major American apparel retailer.
What it's used for
- The address space carries corporate infrastructure, evidenced by netnames such as
LVLT-THEGA-7-8-21-68,GAPINC-NET-CIDR-BLK-JP, andTHE-GAP-INC. - The AS announces 2,304 IPv4 addresses across 5 prefixes and maintains 8 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with an internal corporate estate rather than a transit or access network.
- Traffic from this AS represents office workers, web/API endpoints, and branch backhaul for Gap Inc.'s global retail and corporate operations.
Notable
- Registrants largely align with the announcer, including
Gap, Inc. DirectandThe Gap, Inc., though two prefixes are registered to third parties:Sr Analyst; IRT-GITSI-INfor103.103.113.0/24andJapan Network Information Center; IRT-JPNIC-JPfor103.205.184.0/24. - The inventory includes a mix of legacy Level 3 Communications blocks (indicated by
LVLT-prefixes) and newer allocations, reflecting the company's historical network evolution and international presence.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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: 445 networks and 1,817 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
