AS8891 FTBGPDM
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Orange S.A.
enterprise legacy
AS8891 is registered to Orange S.A., the French incumbent operator (formerly France Télécom). The FTBGPDM handle and the fti.net reverse DNS both date from the France Télécom era. Despite the holder, this is not Orange's consumer broadband or mobile network.
What it's used for
Orange's own service-platform infrastructure. The AS announces a handful of prefixes out of Orange's 80.12, 81.52 and 193.252 ranges, and every sampled address resolves to internal platform naming inside fti.net:
- routers and firewalls —
rt-esiteNN-vNNN.bae.net.m1.fti.net,fw-bae-vNNN-vgwN.orion.net.m1.fti.net - load-balancer VIPs and HTTP cache pools —
vip-cachehttp-…-prod-poolm.s0.fti.net, and a matching…-preprod-…pool - gateway interfaces —
vgw-…-vlanNN.x-echo.com
Notable
- No subscriber pools anywhere. There is not a single
dsl-,pppoe-,dyn-or.wanadoostyle name in evidence. Orange's eyeball broadband and mobile subscribers live on other, far larger ASNs. Inheritingresidentialfrom the Orange brand would be wrong here, and that mistake is exactly what a name-only read produces. - The
prod/preprodpool labels and them0/m1/s0/s1site suffixes are the tell: this is Orange's internal application-delivery estate, including caches and gateways for its own services (anm2mpool appears among them). - Classified
business— corporate/service infrastructure operated by and for the holder, in the same sense as a carrier's internal IT AS. It is not transit, hosting, or an access network.

Interconnection
Peering at a glance
Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers
1 upstream, 0 downstream and 2 adjacent networks observed; most-used upstreams first.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-17, 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: 442 networks and 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
