Summary
Vision Bahn
hosting legacy
AMER is the network of Vision Bahn Corp, a small independent network operator registered in San Francisco with address space that geolocates around the Bay Area.
What it's used for
The AS announces roughly a dozen prefixes totalling about 3,000 IPv4 addresses and takes transit from a handful of upstreams including Hurricane Electric and Cogent. The space hosts a modest number of sites and services, which puts it in the small hosting and connectivity provider bucket rather than the eyeball or enterprise ones.
Notable
ARIN records the ASN from 1995, and the AMER handle is a leftover from an earlier naming that no longer matches the current holder's name. That is common at this end of the number space: handles routinely outlive the organisations that chose them.
Networks this size are the long tail of BGP. They carry a rounding error of global traffic, but they are why the routing table has as many entries as it does.

Interconnection

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 2026-10-27, 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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
