About this network

Five blocks under one label, and a sixth still registered to the consultancy it was bought from.

What it's used for

• A managed services provider's network. 3,328 addresses across six IPv4 prefixes, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• Four blocks carry the netname THRIVE-SE2, identical to the handle the AS is filed under.
• 198.31.196.0/23 carries LVLT-DSMNET-198-31-196 and is registered to DSM Technology Consultants.
• The lookup for 198.31.192.0/22 failed.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• The odd block is a whole acquisition in one field. Its netname begins with a carrier's initials, continues with the acquired firm's own abbreviation, and ends with the address itself, so three parties have written their mark on one label. The registrant was never updated because updating it requires paperwork and routing does not care.
• Consecutive blocks with different owners, 198.31.192.0/22 next to 198.31.196.0/23, mean the two companies were once customers of the same carrier and were assigned adjacent space. Buying the neighbour is how small providers grow.
• The netname ending in a region code and a digit says the company organises its space by which part of the business runs it, and this AS is one of several.
• Managed services means running other companies' servers, which is why nothing is published: the names belong to the customers, in the customers' own domains.
