AS13535 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 1,280 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

A social platform's network, still announcing its /22 through a single upstream.

What it's used for

• A social networking platform's network. 1,280 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, the IPv6 block 2620:46:2000::/48, and one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• 208.82.16.0/22 is netname NING-NET, registered to the company.
• 8.6.19.0/24 is netname LVLT-ORG-8-8, registered to a transit provider.
• First seen in the routing archive on 2001-12-14, an actual date rather than the archive's start.
• Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A platform that hosted hundreds of thousands of small communities needs surprisingly little address space, because every community is a name on shared infrastructure rather than a machine of its own. What scales is storage and databases; the public face stays small.
• Holding an IPv6 /48 from an early allocation range, and announcing exactly one of them, is a network that took the standard unit when it was offered and never had reason to subdivide.
• One upstream and no fragmentation is a network in maintenance. Nothing here is being steered, split or grown; it is being kept reachable, which is what happens to a platform after the growth stops.
