About this network

A Belarusian commercial data provider, carrying its own space and the state operator's.

What it's used for

• Business connectivity and hosting. 20,480 addresses over 19 IPv4 prefixes, one IPv6 /32, 42 observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Most netnames follow one dated stem, BY-BN, from 990917 on the original /20 through 20081015, 20100722, 20110223 and 20160708.
• Two blocks belong to a hosting business instead: HOSTERBY and HOSTERBY-CLOUD-3, the second registered to Reliable Software, Ltd. Its addresses answer as 178-172-138-254.hosterby.com.
• One prefix breaks the pattern entirely. 194.158.194.0/23 is BY-BELPAK-980728, registered to Beltelecom, the state telecommunications enterprise.

Interesting

• That Beltelecom block is the interesting object in the record. Belarus routed its international connectivity through the state operator for most of the country's internet history, and commercial providers built their businesses on top of that arrangement rather than around it. A state-registered /23 announced inside a private ISP's AS is what the relationship looks like in the data.
• Nineteen prefixes for 20,480 addresses means an average block of about a thousand. This network was assembled from whatever was available across two decades, and each netname date marks another visit to the registry.
