Summary
Netnod
infrastructure ixp dns legacy
NETNOD-IX Netnod AB is the Swedish neutral internet-exchange operator, running the Netnod IXPs in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, Sundsvall and Luleå. The same AS also carries Netnod's DNS and time services.
What it's used for
The AS announces a small, stable inventory — 16 IPv4 prefixes (roughly 7,900 addresses) and 10 IPv6 prefixes — against 294 observed BGP neighbours. That ratio is the signature of exchange-point and anycast infrastructure rather than a network with customers: the address count is tiny, but almost 300 other networks see routes from it.
The space backs Netnod's own service platform rather than end users:
- i.root-servers.net, one of the thirteen DNS root servers, which Netnod operates and anycasts worldwide.
- Authoritative DNS and secondary-DNS services, including anycast for national ccTLDs.
- Netnod NTP, the Swedish national time-distribution service, synchronised to atomic clocks maintained with RISE.
- IXP route servers and peering-LAN management for the Netnod exchanges.
Notable
Netnod's roots go back to the mid-1990s reorganisation of Swedish internet interconnection (D-GIX in Stockholm), and its prefixes have been visible in the global routing table since RIS records begin. The organisation is owned by the TU Foundation and operates on a neutral, not-for-profit basis.
Interesting
Exchange points, root servers and registries have no honest slot in an ISP-style taxonomy. Netnod is not hosting, transit or an eyeball network — it is shared internet infrastructure, so it is left unclassified rather than forced into a bucket. Its prefixes should not be read as a service footprint; anycast means the same addresses answer from many countries at once.

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.

IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
