About this network

Plus.line AG is a Frankfurt hosting and colocation provider.

What it's used for

• Hosting and connectivity from its own address space, 40,440 IPv4 addresses across 39 announced prefixes.

Notable

• 141 observed BGP neighbours against a network of that size. Frankfurt is where a disproportionate share of European interconnection happens, and a provider based there peers far more widely than its address count would suggest.
• The netnames date the space: DE-PLUSLINE-990303 was registered on the 3rd of March 1999, DE-PLUSLINE-20031204 in December 2003.
• 41 IPv6 prefixes are announced — more IPv6 prefixes than IPv4 ones, which almost no network can say.

Interesting

• Those 41 IPv6 prefixes all sit inside a single 2a02:2e0::/32 allocation, and they nest: a /39, then a /40, /41, /42, /43, /45, /46, /47 and /48, each tucked inside the last. Announcing a /32 as dozens of nested pieces is the IPv6 version of a habit operators picked up in IPv4, where splitting a block was how you steered traffic between upstreams. IPv6 was meant to make that unnecessary, having handed everyone enough space to never need to subdivide for routing reasons — and here it is anyway.
