About this network

The AS handle is a sentence of marketing copy, complete with a verb that does not agree with its subject.

What it's used for

• A hosting provider. Seven IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 block announced from France, fourteen thousand three hundred and thirty-six addresses, across fifty-two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The handle is the brand, a hyphen, the word for a network, then the brand again followed by a claim that the company provides web, server hosting and dedicated connections. The verb is left in the plural against a singular subject.
• Five of the seven blocks share one netname and one registration date from early in the year two thousand and one, and a sixth adds a date seven years later.
• The seventh is registered to a large computing group under a netname that runs that group's name together with the word for a company arm, listing an information systems department and the group's abuse desk. It is the only block the provider does not hold directly.
• One of eighteen queried addresses answered, and the name is a mail server on a customer's own domain, with two numeric labels and a letter-and-number label in front of it.

Interesting

• Fifty-two peers for fourteen thousand addresses is a provider that sells connectivity as much as machines. Each peering is a shorter path for somebody's customers.
• Handles were free text when this one was written, so operators used them as advertising space. The registry has since become a database people query rather than read, and the sales pitch stayed behind.
