About this network

A Slovak provider with 31 neighbours for 8,704 addresses, and an AS name that is its own number plus a city.

What it's used for

• Internet access and hosting. 8,704 addresses in two IPv4 prefixes, one IPv6 /29, and 31 observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The AS handle reads AS12508 Bratislava, Slovak Republic — the number repeating itself, then a location.
• 212.89.224.0/19 is netname SK-RAINSIDE-20000519, registered to Rainside s.r.o.
• 164.40.168.0/23 belongs to a different company, DCBA s.r.o., under netname SK-DATACUBE-20111116.
• An address in that second block answers ptr126.169.data-cube.sk, spelling out the last two octets in reverse order behind the literal string ptr.
• The IPv6 allocation is a /29, the size given to a provider expected to hand out /48s.

Interesting

• Thirty-one neighbours against 8,704 addresses inverts the usual ratio. A network with this little space and this many adjacencies is not selling access to those addresses; it is peering, which in a single-city market means turning up at the local exchange and swapping routes with everyone else who did.
• The eleven years between the two netnames, 20000519 and 20111116, span the gap between a /19 issued when space was still handed out generously and a /23 issued when it was not. The second block is a sixteenth the size of the first.
