About this network

1,350 BGP neighbours, and routers named after dead physicists.

What it's used for

• A Dutch hosting and connectivity provider. 58,112 addresses across 44 IPv4 prefixes, eighteen IPv6 prefixes, and 1,350 observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The largest blocks are 87.251.32.0/19, 213.136.0.0/19, 213.154.224.0/19, 212.72.240.0/20 and 212.114.96.0/20.
• Netnames run NL-BIT-991209, NL-BIT-20000522, 20030129, 20050909 and 20100528; 178.22.56.0/21 is NL-EXONET-20100401, registered to a different company.
• Two of eighteen sampled addresses returned names: homit-gw.jun1.galilei.network.bit.nl and 213-136-23-254.colo.bit.nl.

Interesting

• 1,350 neighbours is the second-highest count seen anywhere in this range, against a very ordinary 58,112 addresses. A provider that peers with everyone reachable is buying short paths for its hosting customers, and the neighbour count reflects an exchange-heavy strategy rather than size.
• jun1.galilei names a specific router: a vendor abbreviation, an index, and a hostname from a naming scheme built on scientists. Naming machines after a theme is how operators keep hundreds of devices memorable, and it survives into public DNS because the reverse zone is generated from the same inventory the engineers use.
• NL-BIT-991209 is a two-digit year from December 1999, filed days after four-digit netnames elsewhere in this range, and this holder's very next block in May 2000 uses four digits. Even within one organisation the format was not settled, which is what you would expect if it was never a rule in the first place.
• One block belongs to another company entirely. Hosting providers absorb smaller ones, and the acquired network's registry record is the last thing anyone gets round to changing.
