AS7674 GOFORS NTT Communications Corporation
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
NTT DOCOMO BUSINESS, Inc.
infrastructure legacy
GOFORS is a small, old NTT network. It is registered today to NTT DOCOMO BUSINESS, Inc. — the company that was NTT Communications until its 2025 rename — and carries carrier infrastructure rather than any customer-facing service.
What it's used for
- Three prefixes in
192.47.0.0/16(192.47.160.0/24,192.47.170.0/23,192.47.172.0/23), about 1,280 addresses in total, plus one IPv6/48. - Reverse DNS is entirely in
jp.ntt.net, NTT's carrier network domain, with router and gateway names such asote-gw.jp.ntt.netalongside plain address-derived hostnames. There are no subscriber pools, no hosting tenants and no enterprise customer domains anywhere in the sampled space.
Notable
- Deliberately left unclassified. This is network plumbing: too small to be a service network, and not the AS anyone reaches NTT through. NTT's actual retail and transit networks are AS4713 (OCN) and AS2914 (the global backbone). Assigning this AS an eyeball or hosting label would attach a kind it does not carry.
- The
GOFORSnetname itself is undocumented outside the registry, and no honest expansion of it is available — so none is offered here.
Interesting
- JPNIC records the
192.47.170.0/24assignment as dating from August 1992, which puts this among the earlier surviving Japanese address registrations still in active use.

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 2026-10-20. 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.
