About this network

The netname says one range and the block is in another.

What it's used for

• A managed hosting provider's network. 2,048 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• 168.75.216.0/21 carries the netname NAVI-168-175, whose second number matches nothing in the block.
• One of three sampled addresses answered, with 168-75-221-254.navisite.net.
• The AS handle is NAVISITE-WEST-2, naming a region and a sequence.
• The AS first appeared in routing on 2000-08-18.

Interesting

• Whether that netname means the first two parts of the address with a digit dropped, or a span running from one number to another, it does not describe this block either way. Netnames are free text and nothing validates them against the addresses they sit beside, so a mistake made once survives indefinitely.
• The published hostname is the address with dashes, which is the default a hosting provider generates for every address so that customers' machines have names without anyone doing work.
• The handle marks this as the second AS for a region, so the provider has split its network by geography and by generation, and this piece is one facility's worth.
• One upstream for a hosting provider is unusual and worth noting: customers whose servers live here depend on a single relationship staying healthy.
