Summary
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (EMEA)
enterprise legacy
Hewlett-Packard-Enterprise-LR4-EMEA — an HPE corporate AS held through Hewlett Packard France S.A.S. in Puteaux, near Paris. It carries part of the company's European enterprise network.
What it's used for
- Internal corporate connectivity for HPE sites in EMEA. It announces roughly 1,800 addresses across a handful of
/24s carved out of HPE's own legacy space, and publishes no rDNS on any of them — the pattern of a private corporate estate rather than a public-facing service network. - Upstream connectivity is bought, not sold: a small number of BGP neighbours, no downstream customers.
Notable
- Every announced block sits inside
16.0.0.0/8, the Class A that ARIN records as registered to Hewlett Packard in May 1989. HP was one of the early corporate recipients of a full /8, and HPE retained it through the 2015 split from HP Inc. - Announcing a couple of /24s out of a 16-million-address block is normal for legacy /8 holders: almost all of it is used internally and never routed on the public internet.
Interesting
- The address space is American legacy allocation and the routing is European, which is a good reminder that a prefix's registry region says nothing about where the packets land.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-11, 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: 431 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
