About this network

A German colocation operator with 117 BGP neighbours and a customer's block among its own.

What it's used for

• Colocation and connectivity. 12,544 addresses in three IPv4 prefixes, one IPv6 /32, and 117 observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The AS handle reads AS12470 Housing-Center, using the German term for colocation.
• Two blocks are the company's own, netnames DE-GLOBE-990604 and DE-GLOBE-20001013 — the same naming scheme with the year written two ways.
• 194.59.213.0/24 is netname BARTELS-EDV, registered to an individual, Klaus Bartels.

Interesting

• 117 neighbours is a colocation business showing its actual product. Customers pay for space and power, but what makes a facility worth being in is who else is already there, and every peering session is another network a tenant can reach without paying transit for it.
• EDV is the German abbreviation for data processing, the word that filled the role information technology took over later. A netname containing it dates the record more reliably than any timestamp, because nobody has registered a new -EDV block in a very long time.
