About this network

32,768 addresses in 37 prefixes, all carved out of a single 188.225 block.

What it's used for

• A Palestinian internet provider. 32,768 addresses across 37 IPv4 prefixes, one IPv6 prefix, and 10 observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Every announced block listed sits inside 188.225.128.0/17, from a /19 down to /24s.
• The largest block, 188.225.224.0/19, carries the dated netname PS-COOLNET-20090701.
• Every other block sampled is registered as COOLNET-ISP, with Abuse Coolnet as the registrant contact.
• The IPv6 announcement is 2a00:4e80::/32.
• Eighteen addresses were sampled and none returned a name.

Interesting

• One contiguous /17 announced as 37 separate pieces is deaggregation, and it is almost always about control rather than necessity. Splitting a block lets an operator send different parts to different upstreams, keep a customer's space routable through a specific path, or hold a piece back from an aggregate that would otherwise absorb it. The cost is 37 entries in every routing table on earth instead of one.
• 32,768 addresses against 10 neighbours is an access network: lots of subscribers, a small number of ways in and out. For a provider in a territory whose connectivity crosses a handful of chokepoints, the neighbour count is as much geography as engineering.
• The dated netname on the /19 and the undated COOLNET-ISP name on everything else marks two eras of registry practice, both still in force in the same inventory.
