Summary
Global Layer
transit hosting ipx
GLOBALLAYER is operated by Global Layer B.V.
What it's used for
- The address space carries IP transit and hosting infrastructure, evidenced by netnames such as
NL-GLOBALLAYER-20091209andIPXO-GTT, alongside reverse DNS entries pointing toconnected-by.global-layer.com. - With 28,928 IPv4 addresses and 22 IPv6 prefixes announced against 143 observed neighbours, the high neighbour-to-address ratio indicates a transit provider role rather than an access network.
- Traffic from this AS consists of IP transit for customers, including those associated with IPXO and other hosting or enterprise clients, as well as Global Layer's own service endpoints.
Notable
- Registrants for the majority of prefixes align with the announcer, listing
Global Layer B.V.orGlobal Layer, while some blocks showPrivate CustomerorInternet Utilities(IPXO), reflecting leased or customer-specific allocations. - The address inventory is finely subdivided into numerous /21, /22, and /23 blocks, consistent with a transit provider managing diverse customer allocations.

Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
1 DROP match Announced space overlapping the DROP prefix list.

Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.

IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
