Summary
NTT SmartConnect Corporation
isp residential eyeball hosting legacy
MCNET is NTT SmartConnect Corporation, an Osaka-based NTT West group company. Its marketing is cloud, colocation and managed hosting — but the inventory says the network is mostly broadband access.
What it's used for
- Around 454,000 addresses across sixty-plus prefixes. The large ones are not the company's own:
124.245.0.0/16and122.100.16.0/21are registeredNTTWEST-NGN,222.231.128.0/17and210.247.16.0/20areFLETS-WEST, and157.4.0.0/16isNTT-WEST-BB2— all held by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone West. This is NTT West's FLET'S fibre and next-generation-network subscriber space. - Reverse DNS confirms it:
NN-NNN-NNN-N.gip-dyn.canvas.ne.jpis a dynamic global-IP pool for DoCANVAS, the apartment-building fibre internet service. - A smaller set of prefixes is registered
NTTSMCto the company itself, and those carry its data-centre and hosting customers.
Notable
- A kind trap. The name reads as a pure cloud provider; the address space is predominantly Japanese residential and small-business broadband. Anything geolocating this AS as datacentre space will be wrong for most of it.
- Distinct from AS4713 (OCN, NTT's retail ISP) and AS2914 (NTT's global transit backbone).

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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.
