About this network

The corporate network of UPS, the Atlanta-headquartered parcel carrier.

What it's used for

• Internal enterprise networking for a global logistics operation: sorting hubs, package tracking systems, driver handhelds and the corporate estate behind them.

Notable

• 75,000 addresses across 32 prefixes against five observed BGP neighbours. That is an end site, not a service provider — a large private network with a small number of ways in.
• Nearly all of the space is carved out of 153.2.0.0/16, with the remainder in 156.134.0.0/16. Both are legacy class B assignments, all registered directly to United Parcel Service.
• No IPv6 announced.

Interesting

• A parcel company holding two class Bs is a reminder that logistics was computerised early and at scale. UPS was tracking packages electronically well before the web existed, and the network that grew up around that work needed real address space at a time when getting it only meant asking.
