Autonomous system
AS48809 Hosteur Anycast Network
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Hosteur
hosting anycast france
The AS handle HOSTEUR-ANYCAST is held by Hosteur SAS.
What it's used for
- The space carries a single IPv4 block with the netname
HOSTEUR-ANYCAST-NETWORK, indicating infrastructure for anycast services. - The AS announces 256 IPv4 addresses across 1 prefix and maintains 2 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with a specialized service provider rather than a large access network.
- Traffic from this AS consists of anycast endpoints for DNS and other internet infrastructure services provided by Hosteur.
Notable
- The RDAP registrant for the announced prefix is listed as
Abuse-C Role, which aligns with the holder identity of Hosteur SAS. - The address inventory is minimal, consisting of a single /24 block, which is typical for an anycast network that does not require large contiguous address space for customer allocation.

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 2026-10-26, 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: 443 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. 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.
