About this network
STIHL-204-124-67 is held by Stihl Inc., the United States arm of the German chainsaw and outdoor-power-equipment maker, registered in ARIN to 536 Viking Drive, Virginia Beach, Virginia — the company's US headquarters and manufacturing site. The ASN record dates from June 2012, so despite the low number this is a reissue rather than an early-internet network.
What it's used for
Corporate connectivity for a manufacturer. The AS announces three consecutive /24s — 204.124.65.0/24, 204.124.66.0/24 and 204.124.67.0/24, 768 addresses in total — with two observed neighbours and no IPv6. Two upstreams and three contiguous /24s is a textbook enterprise edge: just enough multihoming to keep the company's own public services and site-to-site links reachable if one carrier fails. A network of this size doing anything provider-shaped would show a far larger peer count.
Notable
All three prefixes are registered in ARIN to Stihl Inc. under the STIHL-USA handle, matching the AS holder exactly. Registrant, holder and announced space line up with no third parties anywhere in the chain, which rules out the leased-address pattern.
Interesting
The AS handle is a good example of a trap this data is full of: STIHL-204-124-67 is not a product line or a department, it is the company name with the first three octets of its address block glued on. Handles are frequently just internal shorthand, and reading meaning into them is how identification goes wrong.
