About this network

CENTURYLINK-TSDS-FLTLHS is the Tallahassee, Florida member of CenturyLink's family of metro-scoped autonomous systems, operated by CenturyLink Communications, LLC (now part of Lumen). TSDS is an internal service code; the suffix identifies the market.

What it's used for

• Consumer and small-business broadband in and around Tallahassee. Reverse DNS falls in dhcp.embarqhsd.net and dhcp.centurylinkservices.net, identifying it as dynamically assigned subscriber access.

Notable

• An "eyeball" network — end users on DSL and fibre, rather than hosted services.
• The embarqhsd.net naming traces the lineage: Embarq, the local-telephone company spun out of Sprint, merged with CenturyTel in 2009 to form CenturyLink, and north Florida sits in that legacy footprint.

Interesting

• Rather than announce all subscriber space from one national AS, CenturyLink splits it across per-market TSDS ASNs. Siblings include AS4282 (Fort Myers) and AS4283 (Las Vegas).
