AS11425 announces 4 IPv4 prefixes covering 3,840 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

CWIE is the autonomous system of CWIE, LLC, a privately held hosting and IT-infrastructure company based in Tempe/Phoenix, Arizona. It routes a single ARIN-registered /20 and behaves like a small, self-contained hosting operator rather than a carrier.

What it's used for

RIS sees exactly one announced IPv4 prefix, 98.143.32.0/20 (4,096 addresses), and no IPv6. The prefix is registered to CWIE, LLC itself under the network handle SC-PHOENIX, so the space is first-party rather than leased-in or reassigned from an upstream. That handle also matches the company's own Arizona footprint, which is a useful cross-check: the registrant, the holder and the geography all agree, which is exactly the pattern a genuine operator produces and a re-leased block does not.

The observed neighbour count is 1. A wholesale carrier of any size peers with hundreds of ASes; a single adjacency means this AS buys transit and sells nothing upstream. Combined with a compact, dense, self-registered block, the shape is a hosting estate — servers and customer workloads inside one provider's own address space — not an eyeball access network and not transit.

Notable

CWIE describes itself as an infrastructure-as-a-service provider operating since 1996, offering dedicated servers through cloud hosting. That self-description is consistent with the inventory here, which is the test that matters: when marketing and routing disagree, routing wins, and in this case they agree.

Interesting

The /20 is the whole network. There is no sprawl, no multi-RIR scatter and no third-party registrant in the prefix records, so none of the IP-leasing tells apply.
