About this network

138 neighbours for 8,192 addresses is a ratio that only voice traffic explains.

What it's used for

• A cloud communications provider. 8,192 addresses across fifteen IPv4 prefixes, 138 observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The netnames include FUZE, FUZE-206-81-176, 8X8INC, THINK-24, M8X8INC and UK-VOICENET-20160609.
• The UK block is registered to 8X8 UK Limited; two ranges carry an incident-response handle, IRT-M8X8INC4-AP.
• Every block is placed in the United States, including the ones whose handles end -AP.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Blocks named FUZE and THINK-24 sitting alongside blocks named 8X8INC under one registrant is what buying other companies looks like in the registry. The addresses move to the new owner and the netnames stay, so the acquisition history survives in a field nobody thought to update.
• UK-VOICENET-20160609 carries the date of its own registration inside the name, which makes the record self-dating and makes any second registration on the same day collide.
• Peering with this many networks on this little space is a voice operator's choice. A call crossing fewer networks arrives with less delay, so the provider connects directly to as many as it can rather than handing traffic to a transit carrier and hoping.
