Summary
terranets bw GmbH
enterprise legacy
GVS-AS is terranets bw GmbH, a Stuttgart-based gas transmission system operator for Baden-Württemberg. The handle preserves the company's former name, Gasversorgung Süddeutschland (GVS).
What it's used for
- Alongside its gas grid, terranets bw operates a fibre-optic network laid largely within the protective strips of its pipeline right-of-way, and sells telecommunications and dark-fibre services on it. This AS carries that network.
- Backbone routers in the
bbl.tn-bw.dezone (e.g.dist01-bbl-stgin Stuttgart) confirm the operator's own infrastructure rather than a hosting or eyeball footprint. - The AS also originates address space registered to regional business customers, so it acts as a connectivity provider to enterprises as well as carrying the utility's internal network.
Notable
- A utility with a telecom arm is an easy kind to get wrong. This is not a broadband ISP: there are no subscriber pools, and rDNS is sparse and infrastructure-shaped.
- Registry remarks list only the company's Stuttgart street address (
Am Wallgraben 135), which is a postal address, not a business unit.

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.
