Summary
DOT.Comm
education research business
DOTCOMM is operated by DOT.Comm.
What it's used for
- The address space carries prefixes with netnames
DOTCOMM-OPLandDOTCOMM-NET3, registered to DOT.Comm. - The AS announces 1024 IPv4 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefix, with 4 observed neighbours, indicating a small-scale network with limited peering.
- As an educational and research organization, the traffic consists of institutional users, research endpoints, and academic services.
Notable
- Registrants for the announced prefixes are DOT.Comm, matching the AS holder.
- The address inventory is small and finely subdivided into three IPv4 prefixes, consistent with an internal corporate or institutional estate.

Internet exchanges
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 2026-10-20, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Reputation
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 2026-10-21. 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.
