About this network

The AS handle WCG-AS is held by Westman Communications Group.

What it's used for

• The address space carries residential broadband traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries like v254.cre1b-bdn1.westmancom.com and v254.cre1b-dau1.westmancom.com which indicate cable and DSL access infrastructure.
• The AS announces 30,720 IPv4 addresses across 11 prefixes and 2 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 20 observed neighbours; this ratio of address space to peering partners is consistent with an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.

Notable

• Most registrants align with the announcer, with Westman Communications Group holding the majority of prefixes under netnames such as WCGNET-001, WCGNET-002, WCGNET-003, and WMAN.

• The inventory includes a large /18 block (216.36.128.0/18) alongside smaller /22, /23, and /24 blocks, indicating a mixed estate of legacy and newer allocations.
