AS14277 — GIGSTREEM

Network type: residential

AS14277 announces 26 IPv4 prefixes covering 16,896 addresses and 2 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The netnames end in an address that is not the block they label, and eight consecutive /23s are announced separately rather than as one piece.

What it's used for

• A broadband provider's network. 16,896 addresses across 26 IPv4 prefixes plus two IPv6 prefixes, 2606:8180:4000::/36 and 2606:8180:5800::/37, with 22 observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Most blocks carry the netname GIGSTREEM-NET-65-50-0-0 regardless of which block they are, with a second variant GIGSTREEM-NET-65-182-32-0.
• Two are registered to Cogent Communications, LLC under the generic netname COGENT-A.
• The lookup for 38.27.124.0/22 failed, so nothing is known about that record.
• Eight /23s run consecutively from 65.50.148.0 to 65.50.176.0, each announced on its own.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A netname naming the parent allocation rather than the block is a registry entry that describes where space came from. Every sub-block inherits it, so the field groups correctly and identifies nothing.
• Eight adjacent /23s could be one /20 in the routing table. Announcing them separately costs eight table entries everywhere on the internet and buys the operator per-block control, which is a trade most networks this size do not make.
• Twenty-six announcements scattered across a dozen unrelated ranges, several as single /24s, is a provider assembled by acquisition. Each purchase brought its addresses with it.
• Two blocks still carrying a transit provider's label are space assigned rather than owned, and the registry credits the assigner.
