About this network

An Italian ISP that has kept its brand name in the registry and its company name behind it.

What it's used for

• Internet access. 1,024 addresses in a single /22 with three observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The AS handle is ABANET Internet Service Provider, spelled out in full rather than abbreviated.
• The registry holder is ABANET Abaco Informatica S.r.l., putting the service brand ahead of the company that owns it.
• The one block, 212.28.160.0/22, carries netname ABANET and registrant ABANET NOC.
• Present in routing data since the collectors' earliest records in August 2000.

Interesting

• S.r.l. is the Italian limited company form, roughly the equivalent of a private limited company elsewhere. Its presence in a holder field is the difference between a trading name and a legal entity, and here both are in the same string.
• Three neighbours and a single /22 describe a regional provider that buys transit from a small number of carriers and resells access locally. That was the shape of most national ISP markets in the late nineties, and the ones that survived either grew out of it or, like this, stayed exactly the size that worked.
