About this network

ARCTICFOX is Arctic Fox Networks Inc of Wasilla, Alaska — a small telecommunications and data-centre company. The AS number is low, but the network behind it is new: this is a reissued number, not an early-internet survivor.

What it's used for

Network and facility services in Alaska. The company describes itself as working in telecommunications and data centres, and the routing is consistent with a young provider that has stood up an edge and is growing into it: one announced v4 prefix, 23.158.112.0/24 (256 addresses), registered to NET-V4-BLK1 (org: Arctic Fox Networks Inc), plus one IPv6 prefix, 2602:fd61::/36. The /24 carries generic sequential reverse DNS — ip-23-158-112-5.arcticfoxak.com — which is the naming a provider gives to an address pool it hands out, in its own domain. First-party registrant, first-party rDNS: a real operator on its own space.

Notable

Thirteen observed BGP neighbours against a single /24 is the striking number. That is far more upstreams and peers than 256 addresses need, and it means the interesting part of this network is not its address count — it is connectivity. A /36 of IPv6 is an ISP-sized allocation too, sized for handing prefixes to customers rather than for internal use.

Interesting

ARIN registered this ASN to Arctic Fox on 2024-12-11, with the company itself incorporated in Alaska in 2019. AS11611 sits in a numeric range issued around the turn of the century, so the number has been recycled — a good reminder that a low AS number says nothing about a network's age.

The exact mix of transit, colocation and access service here is not settled by the evidence available, so it is deliberately left unclassified rather than guessed.
