Summary
ESPN
enterprise legacy
ESPN-AS — the network of ESPN, Inc., the sports media company headquartered in Bristol, Connecticut.
What it's used for
- Corporate and broadcast-operations networking: studios, production, and company infrastructure across roughly 17,000 IPv4 addresses in a few dozen prefixes.
Notable
- A media enterprise AS, not a streaming delivery network — ESPN's consumer video is distributed through CDNs, so this AS is mostly the company's own back end.
- The ASN was registered with ARIN in April 1995 and the ESPN org record goes back to 1992, making this a genuine early corporate allocation rather than a recycled low number.

Interconnection
Peering at a glance
Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers
10 upstream, 0 downstream and 10 adjacent networks observed; most-used upstreams first.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-14, 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 1,773 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.
