AS14789 — CLOUDFLARENET

AS14789 announces 206 IPv4 prefixes covering 65,536 addresses and 207 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

More IPv6 prefixes than IPv4 ones, hundreds of tiny slices, and not one address with a name.

What it's used for

• Part of a content delivery and security network. 61,184 addresses across 191 IPv4 prefixes plus 197 IPv6 prefixes, with 209 observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Every record checked carries the netname CLOUDFLARENET, registered to Cloudflare, Inc. with abuse, admin and operations contacts.
• The IPv4 prefixes are almost all /22s and /23s, spread across 104.22, 162.158, 172.68, 172.69 and 172.71.
• The IPv6 prefixes are almost all /48s under 2400:cb00.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• The IPv6 count exceeding the IPv4 count is rare enough in this corpus to be worth stating plainly. Nothing else carded so far announces more of the newer protocol than the older one.
• Hundreds of /22s and /23s rather than a few large blocks is what an anycast network looks like from outside. The same addresses answer in many places at once, and small pieces let each location be withdrawn or moved without touching the rest.
• Not one sampled address has a name, across 388 announced prefixes. On a network where an address is a doorway to thousands of unrelated sites, a reverse name could not say anything true about who is behind it, so there is nothing useful to publish.
• 209 neighbours is the shape of a business that peers with everyone it can reach rather than buying its way to them.
