About this network

A small independent network (PARTAN-LAB) registered to Partan & Partan of Takoma Park, Maryland, the practice of long-time network engineer Andrew Partan.

What it's used for

• A handful of /24s announced from a small private network — a lab and consulting network rather than a commercial service provider.
• Address space includes blocks out of ranges historically associated with early US internet exchange and backbone infrastructure.

Notable

• Tiny by address count, but it holds its own AS number and speaks BGP — the classic profile of a network run by someone who works on the internet for a living and wants their own routing policy.
• Andrew Partan is a familiar name in early internet engineering circles, including contributions to the BIND DNS server.
