Autonomous system
AS8920 VTC-AS Russia, Vladivostok
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
RTComm.RU (Vostoktelecom)
isp satellite legacy
VTC-AS is registered to JSC RTComm.RU, and the handle comes from Vostoktelecom (АО «Востоктелеком») of Vladivostok, the group's Russian Far East company. RTComm.RU is a wholly owned Rostelecom subsidiary and the group's centre of competence for satellite communications.
What it's used for
- Internet access and data links in Primorye, Khabarovsk Krai and the wider Far East, delivered over both terrestrial and VSAT satellite links.
- About 21,500 IPv4 addresses across 26 prefixes, three upstream neighbours, no IPv6.
Notable
- rDNS is almost entirely undelegated. The handful of names that do resolve are RTComm's own regional gateways —
global-N.Access.gw.vld.rtcomm.ru,area.Access.Khabarovsk.gw.khv.rtcomm.ru— plus carrier-NAT pools of the formIP-DASHED.nat.gw.vld.rtcomm.ru. - That is enough to show these are end-user access gateways, but not enough to say who the users are. There are no
dsl-,pppoe-ordyn-conventions to mark the space as a consumer eyeball network, and RTComm's own product line is aimed at organisations and remote-region connectivity as much as households. The mix is genuinely unclear, so the classification is held at low confidence.
Interesting
- Satellite operators are the one case where address geolocation is worth distrusting even when the operator's region is known: a VSAT terminal on this space can sit anywhere a dish can see the bird, thousands of kilometres from the teleport that numbers it.

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 2026-10-17, 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.
