AS14877 — FL-14877

AS14877 announces 7 IPv4 prefixes covering 6,656 addresses and 3 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Most of the blocks it announces are registered to its customers: two colleges, a borough, and a rival carrier.

What it's used for

• A regional fibre carrier's network. 6,656 addresses across seven IPv4 prefixes and 45 IPv6 prefixes, with 22 observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• 70.32.48.0/20 is registered to Westminster College with netname WESTMINSTERIP4, 166.66.202.0/24 to Millersville University of Pennsylvania, and 174.34.252.0/24 to Borough of State College with netname BSC-204.
• 38.87.49.0/24 carries COGENT-A, registered to Cogent Communications, LLC.
• Only two blocks are the carrier's own, netnames FLNET-36 and FLNET-23, registered to FirstLight Networks, LLC rather than the name on the AS handle.
• The AS first appeared in routing on 2012-06-22.

Interesting

• A carrier whose routing table is mostly other people's address space is doing exactly what a regional fibre operator sells: institutions that own portable addresses keep them and change who announces them. The customer list is legible from the registry alone.
• One of those customers is another carrier's block, which is what happens when a competitor's circuit is replaced but the addresses on the equipment behind it are not.
• The IPv6 side runs a doubling ladder from 2607:3180::/47 up to /41, forty-five announcements from a handful of allocations, against seven IPv4 prefixes. The newer protocol is where this network's growth has been recorded.
