About this network

Six different companies hold the space this one AS announces, and 35 BGP neighbours carry it.

What it's used for

• A hosting provider's network. 16,640 addresses across 24 IPv4 prefixes plus two IPv6 prefixes, 2605:9500:212::/47 and 2605:9500:b001::/48, with 35 observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Five blocks carry the netname NSI001001, registered to Datatility, Inc., one of them listing a Network Operations Center.
• Others belong to Elexio (ELEXIO-1), Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (BAH-NET), Project Performance Company, LLC (PROJ-PERFORM) and Equinix, Inc. (EQUINIX-EDMA-ASH).
• Two carry VA-NSIHOSTING-1 and one NETSENSE-DC02-IP, registered to NSI Hosting itself.
• Seven single /24s come from 149.97, alongside a /23 from the same range.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• One netname repeated across five unrelated ranges is a customer account number rather than a description. Whoever registered them was tracking billing, not addressing.
• Thirty-five neighbours on 16,640 addresses is one of the highest ratios in this range. A hosting business sells reachability, and peering with everyone available is cheaper than buying transit from a few.
• A block registered to an exchange point operator names a facility rather than a network. That is space assigned to a cabinet, and it moves with the cabinet.
• A defence consultancy and a small hosting company sharing an AS is unremarkable in practice: the consultancy bought managed hosting, and the registry recorded who paid for the addresses rather than who runs the routers.
