What it's used for

• The address space carries a single IPv6 prefix, 2606:ec80::/44, with no announced IPv4 addresses.
• The inventory consists of 1 IPv6 prefix and 0 IPv4 prefixes, observed against 1 routing neighbour, indicating a minimal footprint likely dedicated to specific internal or experimental services.

Notable

• The registry holder is listed as "LOON - Google LLC", aligning the AS with Google's corporate structure.
• Loon was a Google project that provided internet access via high-altitude balloons; the AS number was first seen in routing tables in 2005, predating the public launch of the Loon project, suggesting the number was allocated for other Google infrastructure before being repurposed or retained for the balloon network.
• The address inventory is extremely sparse, consisting of a single /44 IPv6 block, which does not fit the profile of a large-scale consumer or transit network.
