AS13013 — HEWLETT-PACKARD-ENTERPRISE-MAIDSTONE HPE Maidstone, UK

AS13013 announces 7 IPv4 prefixes covering 2,816 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

One company, four jurisdictions: a UK site name, a French registrant, and a US netname holder.

What it's used for

• A regional site network of Hewlett Packard Enterprise. 2,560 addresses across six IPv4 prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• Every prefix sits inside 16.0.0.0/8, one of the legacy class-A blocks, scattered as far apart as 16.1.33.0/24 and 16.240.11.0/24.
• All six carry the single netname HPE-15, registered to the United States parent company.
• The AS is held by the French entity, the announced blocks are recorded against France, and the handle reads HPE Maidstone, UK.
• Eighteen addresses were sampled and none answered.

Interesting

• Four places appear in one record and none of them contradicts the others. A multinational registers address space centrally, holds AS numbers through whichever legal entity was convenient, and operates them at sites named after towns. Geolocating any of this from the registry alone would give a different answer depending on which field was read.
• A single netname covering an entire legacy /8 means the registry sees one assignment where the routing table sees six scattered fragments. The /8 predates the practice of registering each block separately, so internal structure lives in the company's own records rather than in anything public.
• Six prefixes spread across a /8 is what an enterprise looks like when it carves site networks out of a block far larger than it needs.
