Network type: hosting

AS50655 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 2,048 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The AS handle ITSHOSTED-AS is held by ITS HOSTED.

What it's used for

• The address space carries hosting and Usenet infrastructure, evidenced by the netnames NL-ITSHOSTED-20100304, NL-ITSHOSTED, and ITSHOSTED associated with registrant ITS HOSTED.
• The AS announces 2048 IPv4 addresses across 4 prefixes and 31 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 59 observed neighbours; this ratio of modest address inventory against a high neighbour count indicates a transit or peering-heavy role rather than a large access network.
• Traffic from this AS consists of web/API endpoints and Usenet content delivery, consistent with the operator's business as a hosting provider and Usenet farm.

Notable

• Registrants for all announced IPv4 prefixes are ITS HOSTED or Abuse-C Role, which aligns with the AS holder.
• The address inventory is finely subdivided, with four distinct IPv4 prefixes and ten distinct IPv6 prefixes, suggesting internal segmentation for different services or customer groups.
