About this network

The handle names a service, the netnames name a data centre brand, and neither is the company.

What it's used for

• A managed hosting company's network. Four IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 /29 announced from Germany, seven thousand six hundred and eighty addresses, across three observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The AS handle is two ordinary words joined together, describing worldwide access rather than identifying anyone.
• Three netnames are a country code, a data centre brand, a three-letter city code and a date, with the dates spread across seventeen years.
• The fourth is a two-letter code, a five-character reference beginning with two letters and a four-digit number, and a date, and it belongs to a different company: a private individual trading under a specialist publishing name.
• The registrant on the other three is the holder's operations centre first and the company second.
• The IPv6 allocation is a /29, the size given to a provider to hand out.
• Twelve addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A city code in a netname on a hosting company means the block is tied to a building. Address space that follows a rack rather than a customer is how a data centre business is actually organised, and it survives every rename of the company on top.
• A block held by an outside business inside a hosting provider's number is ordinary: the customer keeps its own registration and the provider carries the route.
