About this network

VKONTAKTE-REGIONAL-CDN is operated by VK, the Russian social media and technology conglomerate formerly known as Vkontakte.

What it's used for

• The address space carries front-end infrastructure for VK's services, evidenced by netnames VK-FRONT and VKONTAKTE-FRONT, and reverse DNS entries such as srv128-202.vkontakte.ru.
• With 3584 IPv4 addresses announced across 10 prefixes and 12 observed neighbours, the ratio suggests a content delivery and service delivery network rather than a transit provider.

Notable

• Registrants consistently align with the announcer, including VK ADM, VK NOC, and Vkontakte Network Control Center (NCC).
• The address inventory is finely subdivided into multiple /24 and /23 blocks, indicating internal segmentation for different service tiers or geographic regions within the corporate estate.
