About this network

Rev.Net Technologies is a US internet provider running four blocks out of a single range.

What it's used for

• Internet access of more than one kind. Most addresses answer as IP-209-170-179-255.rev.net, one block is named for a customer as bdurham-NET-209-170-185-0.rev.net, and a /24 answers under an entirely different domain as wisp.209.170.191.64.b2xonline.net.

Notable

• 3,840 addresses across four prefixes, all carved from the same 209.170.176.0/21 range and all registered as REVNET-TECHNOLOGIES-INC.
• Two observed BGP neighbours. No IPv6 announced.

Interesting

• The wisp. prefix on that last block says what it carries: a wireless internet service provider, the model that brought broadband to places where nobody would trench fibre. The hostnames sit under b2xonline.net rather than rev.net, so a second operator's service is running on addresses this AS announces.
• rev.net is a three-letter domain in one of the original top-level domains, registered when that was still possible. The reverse DNS convention here is unusually literal — IP- then the address with dots turned into hyphens — which reads like a generation of naming from before providers worried what a traceroute looked like.
