AS14537 — CL-1379-14537 - Continent 8 LLC

Network type: hosting

AS14537 announces 47 IPv4 prefixes covering 61,952 addresses and 3 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Three registries, three corporate entities, and an IPv6 allocation deaggregated into a halving chain.

What it's used for

• A hosting and connectivity provider. 61,952 addresses across 76 IPv4 prefixes plus 61 IPv6 prefixes, with 265 observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• North American blocks carry the netname CL-1379, registered to Continent 8 LLC.
• European blocks carry names like IM-C8TECHNOLOGIES-20120608 and IM-C8TECHNOLOGIES-20020530, registered to CONTINENT 8 TECHNOLOGIES PLC.
• 45.127.116.0/22 carries CONTINENT8-SG, registered to an Asian entity with its own incident-response object.
• The IPv6 space starts at 2407:1d80::/38 and is then announced as 2407:1d80:400::/47, 2407:1d80:402::/48, 2407:1d80:404::/46, 2407:1d80:408::/45 and onward through /41.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• The European netnames end in a date, and the dates span nearly two decades. Each is the day that block was registered, so the netnames read as a timeline of how the business grew.
• Almost as many IPv6 prefixes as IPv4 ones. Very few networks in this corpus have reached that balance, and it is a choice rather than a consequence: the address space was there to announce whole, and it was cut up instead.
• That IPv6 chain doubles at each step, which is the same shape a network makes when it subdivides on paper rather than in response to demand.
• Three legal entities in three registries, all announcing through one AS number. The corporate structure is visible from the routing table because each region had to register locally.
