About this network

Internet Light and Power is a Toronto internet provider serving business customers.

What it's used for

• Business internet access and related services in southern Ontario.

Notable

• Eleven observed BGP neighbours against only 8,400 addresses. That ratio is the interesting part: a network this small with this much interconnection is buying from several carriers and peering besides, rather than sitting behind one upstream, which is what a business ISP selling on reliability has to do.
• Two prefixes. A /19 registered as ILAPIPV4 to the company itself, and a /24 registered to NetX Systems Inc. announced alongside it.
• No IPv6 announced.

Interesting

• The name is a joke about utilities — a nod to the old electric-and-gas companies called Light and Power, positioning internet access as the same kind of municipal necessity. Naming conventions from the late 1990s tended toward either the grandly infrastructural or the plainly descriptive, and this one manages both at once.
