Network type: residential

AS209 announces 4,380 IPv4 prefixes covering 15,662,848 addresses and 77 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

A large US access and transit network now operated by Lumen Technologies, carrying the legacy Qwest / CenturyLink consumer and business broadband base.

What it's used for

• Residential and business internet (DSL and fibre) across the former Qwest territory in the western and central United States.
• Enterprise and wholesale connectivity under the Lumen/CenturyLink brand.

Notable

• This is an "eyeball" network — most IPs are subscribers, not servers.
• Distinct from AS3356 (the Level 3 backbone, also Lumen): 209 carries the CenturyLink/Qwest access side, 3356 is the global transit core. Both rolled up into Lumen after the CenturyLink–Level 3 merger.

Interesting

• Qwest was one of the 1990s fibre-boom long-haul carriers; its network survives inside Lumen today under this decades-old AS number.
