About this network

Telecom Armenia is the country's incumbent fixed-line operator, known for most of its life as ArmenTel and for a decade as Beeline Armenia.

What it's used for

• Fixed broadband and telephony for Armenian subscribers. The netnames say so directly: VEON-AM-ADSL-NET covers a full /16 of DSL space, and VEON-AM-BB-NET and VEON-AM-BBS-NET cover the broadband pools.

Notable

• 200 observed BGP neighbours against 107,000 addresses. That is an extraordinary neighbour count for a network this size, and it is what being a landlocked country's incumbent looks like: Armenia's transit has to cross Georgia or Iran, so the national carrier peers everywhere it can reach.
• The registry preserves three eras of ownership at once. VEON-AM- netnames come from VEON, the international group that owned the operator as Beeline until 2020, while AM-ARMENTEL- netnames come from ArmenTel, the name before that. The registrant on all of it now reads Telecom Armenia.

Interesting

• One netname is AM-ARMENTEL-990201, encoding the date the block was assigned: the 1st of February 1999. RIPE's convention of stamping the assignment date into the netname means parts of this network can be dated to the day, and this one predates the company's current name by two owners.
