Network type: hosting

AS16189 announces 3 IPv4 prefixes covering 2,048 addresses and 2 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Forty-nine peers for two thousand addresses, from a consultancy rather than a provider.

What it's used for

• A consulting group's network. Three IPv4 prefixes and two IPv6 blocks announced from France, two thousand and forty-eight addresses, across forty-nine observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The ratio of peers to addresses is one of the highest in this range, and it belongs to a company whose business is advice and integration rather than connectivity.
• Two blocks carry a netname that is the brand alone, four letters with nothing else, and are registered to the parent company under a joint-stock form.
• The third uses a country code, the brand joined to the word for consulting, and a date, and belongs to a separate subsidiary whose name contains an ampersand.
• The AS handle puts the letters for an autonomous system in front of the group name rather than after it, reversing the usual order.
• Nine addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A consultancy with this many peerings is running services its clients depend on, and each peering is a path that does not cross a transit provider. It buys latency and independence rather than capacity.
• Group structures show up in address records as brand fragments: a parent holding the old undated blocks, a subsidiary holding the recent dated one, and a handle that names the group rather than either.
