About this network

UBUNTU-UNICAST-AS is operated by UbuntuNet Alliance.

What it's used for

• The space carries research and education network traffic, evidenced by the reverse DNS entry xe-7-0-0-nairobi-ua-nbo1-mtz1-01.ubuntunet.net which indicates peering infrastructure in Nairobi.
• With 2048 IPv4 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefix announced against 143 observed neighbours, the high neighbour-to-address ratio implies a transit or backbone role rather than a direct access network.

Notable

• The RDAP registrant Ubuntunet Alliance For Research and Education Networking matches the AS holder name exactly.
• The address inventory consists of a single contiguous IPv4 block, 196.32.208.0/21, and one IPv6 prefix, 2001:43f8:20::/48.
