About this network

A single small announcement belonging to a biotechnology sample and assay company.

What it's used for

• Corporate connectivity. 512 addresses in one /23 with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The whole inventory is 91.226.248.0/23, netname QIAGEN, registered to QIAGEN GmbH.
• Two neighbours rather than one. The smallest possible network with a second path.

Interesting

• QIAGEN makes the kits that get DNA and RNA out of a sample and into a state a machine can read. Its products sit upstream of a large share of the world's clinical and research molecular biology, which meant that when testing capacity became a global constraint the bottleneck was partly in reagent supply rather than instruments.
• A /23 is what a company like this needs from the public internet, and the two neighbours are the interesting part of the record. Announcing 512 addresses through one provider is a configuration; announcing them through two is a decision that somebody has to maintain, renew and test. For a business whose customers are laboratories waiting on orders, the second path is worth the trouble.
