Unclassified ARIN
Summary
DACS-IX
legacy
An internet exchange point. DACS-IX operates a multi-region peering fabric in the United States, with its registered address at 12401 Prosperity Drive, Silver Spring, Maryland. This AS is one of several DACS-IX carries, covering one of its regional fabrics.
What it's used for
- Exchange infrastructure: peering LAN, route servers and management systems for DACS-IX subscribers, who connect at sites across the eastern and other US regions.
- Announces a single IPv4 /24 (
199.59.210.0/24) alongside a set of2602:ffa9::/48IPv6 blocks. Reverse names resolve underdacs-nx.com.
Notable
- An IXP is not a hosting, transit or access network. The addresses here exist so that member networks can peer with each other; almost none of the traffic an exchange enables is addressed to the exchange's own space.
- The tiny announced footprint relative to the AS's importance is normal for an IXP, whose value is in the fabric, not the address inventory.
- ARIN records show the current assignment of this number dating to January 2025, so the low AS number is a reissue of a recycled number rather than an early-internet allocation. Do not read AS7124's pedigree from its digits.

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.
