Summary

Elsevier

United Kingdom · AI-generated

business publishing corporate

REED-ELSEVIER-EMEA-GCC is held by Elsevier Limited.

What it's used for

  • The space carries corporate infrastructure for a major scientific publisher, with the netname NETBLK-TMCMB2 registered to RELX inc.
  • The AS announces 512 IPv4 addresses across 1 prefix (198.176.82.0/23) and maintains 1 observed neighbour, indicating a small, isolated internal network rather than a transit or access provider.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of internal corporate endpoints for Elsevier's digital publishing platforms, including ScienceDirect and Scopus, supporting web/API services and office operations.

Notable

  • The RDAP registrant RELX inc. differs from the registry holder Elsevier Limited, reflecting the corporate rebranding of the parent company.
  • Elsevier was part of Reed Elsevier, which rebranded as RELX in February 2015; the AS handle retains the legacy "REED-ELSEVIER" naming.
  • The address inventory is a single /23 block, consistent with a segmented internal corporate estate.

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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-22. 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.
