Summary
Los Alamos National Laboratory
government research legacy
The network of Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL-INET-AS), a US Department of Energy national laboratory in New Mexico.
What it's used for
- Research and administrative networking for one of the DOE's largest national labs, known for nuclear science and high-performance computing.
Notable
- A US government / national-lab network, not a commercial provider. The low AS number reflects an allocation from the internet's earliest years.

Interconnection

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers
1 upstream, 0 downstream and 2 adjacent networks observed; most-used upstreams first.

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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
