Unclassified APNIC
Summary
GlobalConnect
transit backbone fiber legacy
GLOBALCONNECT-NET — the primary peering and transit AS of GlobalConnect, the Nordic fibre, data-centre and connectivity group. The AS number is held by GlobalConnect AB, the Swedish entity.
What it's used for
- Unified IP transit and peering for the GlobalConnect group. The registry object states plainly that AS6797 is the group's single peering and transit point, with its regional networks transitioning behind it: AS31027 (Denmark and Germany), AS12552 (Sweden and Finland) and AS2116 (Norway).
- BGP communities on the AS tag traffic by country across Denmark, Finland, Åland, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
Notable
- The holder has changed: this number was previously associated with Phonera / Port80, then passed through the IP-Only lineage (the maintainer on the object is still
IP-ONLY-MNT) before GlobalConnect consolidated the Nordic operators. Describe it as GlobalConnect today, not Phonera. - This is a carrier backbone, not an eyeball network — the regional consumer and business services sit behind the group's other AS numbers.
Interesting
- The consolidation is visible in the routing table: a single low AS number is gradually absorbing the peering footprint of three separate national networks.

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: 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.
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.
