About this network

ShawneeLink is a small internet provider in southern Illinois, named for the Shawnee country at the bottom of the state.

What it's used for

• Residential and business internet access. Sampled addresses answer as host-64.27.235.254.shawneelink.net.

Notable

• Two prefixes, 216.240.64.0/19 and 64.27.224.0/20, registered as SHAWNEE-NET-1 and SHAWNEE-NET-2 to ShawneeLink itself. 12,000 addresses in total — this is one of the smaller networks running its own AS.
• 13 observed BGP neighbours against that small a holding. The ratio is unusual for an access network and points at a provider doing real interconnection rather than buying a single upstream, which is how a rural operator keeps latency reasonable when the nearest exchange is a long way off.
• A single IPv6 prefix is announced.

Interesting

• Both blocks are held directly rather than assigned by an upstream, which is what makes the thirteen neighbours possible: you cannot peer widely on somebody else's addresses. Provider-assigned space would have tied this network to a single carrier.
