Summary
Rosnet (PJSC Rostelecom)
isp legacy
ROSNET-AS is the network originally built by the Russian provider Rosnet, whose registry object still carries the description OJSC "Rosnet". The autonomous system is now held by PJSC Rostelecom, Russia's largest telecommunications group.
What it's used for
- Corporate and institutional internet access. Reverse DNS across the announced space is a mix of Rosnet's own infrastructure hosts (under
rosnet.ru, including RADIUS/access-server names) and customer organisations' office gateways, which is the shape of a business-oriented ISP rather than a residential broadband network.
Notable
- Card the specific network, not the parent. Rostelecom operates many autonomous systems, most of them regional eyeball networks; this one is the absorbed Rosnet business, and its address space does not show the DSL/PPPoE subscriber reverse-DNS patterns typical of Rostelecom's consumer broadband ASNs.
- The announced prefixes are registered under Rostelecom's
RU-RTK-*netnames, confirming the transfer of the original Rosnet allocations into the parent group's registry inventory.

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 2026-10-21. 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.
