Summary
Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs
government ministry france diplomatic
FR-MAE is operated by Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs (Ministère de l'Europe et des Affaires étrangères).
What it's used for
- The address space is registered to the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, with netnames
FR-MAE-20190826,FR-MAE-20160425, andFR-MAE-20230626all listing the ministry as registrant. - The AS announces 1280 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, with only 3 observed routing neighbours, indicating a small, self-contained government network rather than a transit or access provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of internal government communications, diplomatic web services, and administrative endpoints for the French foreign ministry.
Notable
- All three announced IPv4 prefixes share the same registrant: DNUM; Ministere De L'europe Et Des Affaires Etrangeres; Abuse-C Role, confirming consistent ownership.
- The address inventory is compact and finely subdivided into three distinct IPv4 blocks and one IPv6 /29, typical of a single government agency managing its own infrastructure.

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 2026-11-01, 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: 449 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-02. 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.
