About this network

WINK-NET is operated by Himeji Cable Television Corporation.

What it's used for

• The address space carries residential cable broadband traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS records pointing to ip4.winknet.ne.jp and netnames such as WINK-NET3, WINK-NET4, and Winknet-CIDR-BLK-JP.
• The AS announces 77,824 IPv4 addresses across 15 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 19 observed neighbours; this ratio of high address volume to moderate peering indicates an access network serving end-users rather than a transit provider.
• Traffic from this AS consists of subscriber eyeballs for residential internet access in the Himeji and surrounding Hyogo prefecture region of Japan.

Notable

• Registrants for the majority of prefixes are listed as Japan Network Information Center with IRT IRT-JPNIC-JP, which is consistent with standard Japanese IP allocation practices where JPNIC holds the registry records for local operators.
• One prefix, 163.131.64.0/19, carries the netname IIJ-CIDR-BLK-JP, suggesting a portion of the address space may have originated from or is associated with Internet Initiative Japan, though it is currently announced under WINK-NET.
• The inventory includes a mix of /17, /19, /20, /21, /22, and /23 blocks, with the largest being 45.75.0.0/17.
