About this network

An internet exchange, whose own addresses are the meeting point for everyone else's.

What it's used for

• An internet exchange point's network. Three IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 /32 announced from Italy, two thousand and forty-eight addresses, across thirty-one observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The AS handle is the brand with three letters for an autonomous system, then a city, a country, and the words for an interconnection point spelled out.
• The holder's name spells the exchange out in full, capitalising the letter in the middle of the last word to show where the contraction comes from.
• Two blocks share a netname of the brand and the word for services; a third adds an underscore and a digit to the same name.
• The only registrants anywhere are the operations centre and an abuse role.
• Thirty-one observed neighbours on two thousand addresses, a far higher ratio than an ordinary network.
• Nine addresses were queried for reverse DNS and one answered: a gateway, numbered, marked as external.

Interesting

• An exchange sells no transit and carries no customer traffic. Its addresses exist so that other networks can plug into one another, which is why the neighbour count is high and the address count is tiny.
• The blocks announced here are the exchange's own services rather than the shared fabric. The fabric itself is usually a block nobody announces at all, because it is only meant to be reachable by the members sitting on it.
