AS44597 RIPN-RU-SMR for Samara Project
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
MSK-IX
exchange infrastructure russia
RIPN-RU-SMR is operated by MSK-IX (Join-stock company "Internet Exchange"MSK-IX").
What it's used for
- The address space carries infrastructure for the Moscow Internet Exchange, with netnames including
RIPN-SMR-RU-NET,MSK-IX, andRU-MSK-IX-19960719. - The AS announces 768 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes and 2 IPv6 prefixes, maintaining 6 observed neighbours; this low address-to-neighbour ratio indicates a transit or peering role rather than an access network.
- Traffic from this AS consists of peering sessions and exchange infrastructure traffic for the MSK-IX network.
Notable
- Registrants consistently identify the holder as Join-stock company "Internet Exchange"MSK-IX" or its NOC, aligning with the AS handle
RIPN-RU-SMRfor the Samara Project. - The address inventory is small and finely subdivided into three /24 blocks, consistent with an internal corporate or exchange estate rather than a large consumer base.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
