Summary

Layer 2 Networks, Inc.

United States of America · AI-generated

business leased us

LAYER2 is the AS handle for Layer 2 Networks, Inc.

What it's used for

  • The single announced prefix 38.84.74.0/24 carries the netname COGENT-A with registrant Cogent Communications, LLC, indicating this space is Cogent infrastructure.
  • With 256 IPv4 addresses and 1 observed neighbour, the inventory is minimal and consistent with a small, specific allocation rather than a broad access or transit network.
  • The traffic consists of Cogent Communications, LLC network endpoints, as the address space is registered to and managed by Cogent.

Notable

  • The registrant Cogent Communications, LLC differs from the AS holder Layer 2 Networks, Inc., suggesting the address space is leased or allocated to Layer 2 Networks, Inc. for use within Cogent's infrastructure.
  • The address inventory consists of a single /24 block, which is a standard small allocation for specific service or customer use.

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 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
