Summary
Migros-Genossenschafts-Bund
enterprise retail legacy
MIGROS is the corporate network of the Migros-Genossenschafts-Bund, the federation of cooperatives behind Migros, Switzerland's largest retailer and one of its largest employers. This is a retailer's enterprise AS, not a service provider.
What it's used for
Migros announces about 330,000 IPv4 addresses across twelve prefixes and, notably, no IPv6 at all. The bulk sits in five legacy /16 blocks — 143.180.0.0/16, 146.67.0.0/16, 159.179.0.0/16, 163.161.0.0/16 and 164.14.0.0/16 — supplemented by a handful of European /22–/24 assignments.
The one PTR returned in the sample, ip-193-8-177-100.migros.net, is first-party: the space carries Migros' own systems. With ten observed BGP neighbours and no downstream networks, the routing behaviour is that of a large enterprise buying transit, not selling it.
What it carries
Retail at Migros' scale means a lot of network: point-of-sale across hundreds of stores, distribution and logistics, plus the group's banking, travel, fitness and manufacturing arms. That variety, rather than any subscriber base, explains the large address holding.
Notable
- Five separate legacy
/16s is a striking amount of address space for a grocery cooperative. It reflects an era when large enterprises could request generous classful allocations, and Migros simply never gave them back. - The complete absence of announced IPv6 is unusual for a network of this size in a country with otherwise strong IPv6 deployment.

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 1,781 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
