About this network

SALISH-NETWORKS is Salish Networks, Inc., the telecommunications company of the Tulalip Tribes, registered at Quil Ceda Village, Washington. It is a small regional access network in the Puget Sound area, announcing 11 prefixes covering roughly 7,900 IPv4 addresses with about 15 observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6.

What it's used for

The reverse DNS is the clearest signal here: sampled addresses across several of the announced ranges resolve under tulalipbroadband.com as host-<ip> style names, which is the shape of subscriber access pools rather than servers. Salish Networks operates the fibre and broadband plant serving the Tulalip reservation, Quil Ceda Village's commercial district and the surrounding community, so the space carries a mix of residential subscribers, tribal government and enterprise sites, and local institutional customers. One sampled address answers as snopud.com, the Snohomish County Public Utility District, which points to at least some regional business and public-sector connectivity riding on the same AS.

Notable

The prefix registrants line up with the operator rather than against it: the announced blocks are registered to SALISHNET-01, TULALIP-BROADBAND and TULALIPTRIBES-01. Those look like three different names but they are one tribal enterprise group, and first-party reverse DNS on the same space confirms it — this is a real operator, not an AS number carrying someone else's leased address space.

Interesting

A fifteen-neighbour, eight-thousand-address network with subscriber-style rDNS is exactly the profile of a community or tribally-owned ISP: too many peers to be a single enterprise, far too few addresses and peers to be a wholesale carrier.
