About this network

1,023 BGP neighbours from a country of fewer than 400,000 people, and reverse names spanning three mobile generations.

What it's used for

• A major Icelandic telecommunications operator carrying fixed and mobile subscribers. 306,688 addresses across 28 IPv4 prefixes, two IPv6 prefixes, and 1,023 observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Every block carries an IS-OR- netname with its registration date: 19930901, 19950307, 20000703, 20000731, 20010109, 20020316, 20020805, 20060113, 20060208, 20110221 and 20120507.
• Nine of eighteen sampled addresses returned names in three forms: mobile-194-144-191-254.3G.internet.is, mobile-193-4-223-254.upf2.internet.is and 46-239-208-0.du.xdsl.is.
• The largest block is 194.144.0.0/16.

Interesting

• 1,023 neighbours is the third-highest count seen in this range, from an operator serving a population smaller than a mid-sized city. Iceland sits on the transatlantic cable path and its networks peer with everything that lands there, so the neighbour count measures geography rather than customers.
• The reverse names record three eras of mobile network in one zone. 3G names a generation now being switched off worldwide, while upf1 and upf2 name the user plane function, a component that only exists in 5G cores. Both are live in the same sampled range, which is what a migration looks like from outside: the old naming is never cleaned up, it just stops being extended.
• Eleven dated netnames from 1993 to 2012 make this the second complete allocation timeline in this range, alongside another operator whose earliest is 1989.
