AS10905 — MTVI-AS
AS10905 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 512 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.
About this network
MTVI-AS is Mobile Technology Ventures Inc, a small Florida company. Despite the name it shows no sign of being a mobile operator; the routing looks like a modest hosting and managed-services network.
What it's used for
RIS shows 2 announced IPv4 prefixes, 130.51.196.0/24 and 130.51.197.0/24, together 512 addresses, no IPv6, and 2 observed neighbours. Those two /24s are the halves of a single 130.51.196.0/23 that ARIN records as a direct allocation to Mobile Technology Ventures itself, with the company's own Florida address and contact on the record.
That registration detail matters more than the size. Scattered /24s under a low-numbered ASN can be the signature of an address broker, prefixes registered to unrelated third parties and routed by whoever is renting them. Here the opposite is true: the space is self-registered, contiguous, and announced by its own holder, which is what a real, if small, operator looks like.
The one reverse DNS result on the sample, mail.jsoft-software.com, is a mail host on a domain unrelated to the AS holder, which is the ordinary pattern for a small provider running services for a handful of customers.
Notable
The name is a trap worth flagging. "Mobile Technology Ventures" reads like a wireless carrier, and nothing in the routing supports that reading: 512 addresses and two upstreams cannot serve a subscriber base of handsets. Never infer a network's role from a promising-sounding handle.
Interesting
The ASN is a low legacy number but the company behind it is recent, and the address block was allocated to it in 2020. Number and holder come from completely different eras, a reminder that a low ASN says nothing about how long its current owner has held it.
