Unclassified RIPE
Summary
MARnet
education research registry
MARNET is operated by MARnet (Macedonian Academic Research Network Skopje).
What it's used for
- The address space carries the national academic and research network, as indicated by the registrant name "Macedonian Academic Research Network Skopje" and the netname
MK-MACEDONIAN-20160809. - The AS announces 1024 IPv4 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefix, with 3 observed neighbours, indicating a small-scale access network for the academic community rather than a transit provider.
- Traffic consists of research and educational activities for the Macedonian academic community, including services for the national .mk domain registry which MARnet also manages.
Notable
- The registrant "MARnet1; Macedonian Academic Research Network Skopje" aligns with the AS holder.
- MARnet is the registry operator for the .mk country code top-level domain, a role established in 2014.
- The inventory consists of a single /22 IPv4 block and a /29 IPv6 prefix, representing a compact internal estate for the academic network.

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 2026-11-01, 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: 447 networks and 1,843 prefixes, as published 2026-11-02. 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.
