Summary

Verizon Business (VRIS-6995)

United States · AI-generated

enterprise legacy

A Verizon Business autonomous system (VRIS-6995) that announces legacy GTE Internetworking address space.

What it's used for

  • Announces about 9k IPv4 addresses from the GTE-registered 206.124.64.0/19 and from Verizon's blocks in 63.36.0.0/11.
  • Reverse DNS still resolves under gte.net, with generic per-address hostnames in a Dallas-Fort Worth pool (for example dfw72120.gte.net) alongside a few named servers — the residue of GTE's internet service, which folded into Verizon after the 2000 merger.

Notable

  • A stub AS: its only upstream is AS701, Verizon's transit backbone, and it has no downstream ASNs of its own. It is not itself a transit network.
  • The generic reverse-DNS naming means the current use of the addresses cannot be read off the DNS with confidence; the naming is inherited from the GTE era, not necessarily descriptive of what runs there now.

This description is AI-generated, best-effort context — not authoritative, and provided without any guarantee of accuracy. Source, and how to suggest an edit.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-13, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
