About this network
VAXXINE is Vaxxine Computer Systems Inc., a small independent internet provider based in St. Catharines, Ontario, serving the Niagara region of Canada. ARIN records the organisation at 80 Grantham South, St. Catharines.
What it's used for
Consumer and small-business internet access. The AS announces just two IPv4 prefixes — 192.161.96.0/19 and 209.159.176.0/20, about 12,288 addresses in total — and no IPv6. Reverse DNS on the second block resolves to names like ppp5.dsl.ontario.net and ppp1021.dsl.ontario.net: PPP session numbers on a DSL access concentrator, which is the signature of a subscriber access pool rather than a server estate. Both prefixes are registered to Vaxxine's own ARIN handles (VAXXINE-COM-2, and a block explicitly named for dynamic DSL in Ontario), so the space is first-party rather than leased in, and the network is a real operator rather than a shell announcing other people's address space.
Notable
Only two observed BGP neighbours. That is an eyeball network buying transit from a couple of upstreams, not a carrier — a wholesale transit AS of comparable size would peer with hundreds of others.
Interesting
The rDNS zone dsl.ontario.net is a nicely generic piece of naming for a network whose actual footprint is one corner of the province.
