About this network

ROOT is root S.A., a Luxembourg hosting company and IP transit provider. It runs one of the larger independent IP backbones in the country and is a founding member of LU-CIX, the Luxembourg internet exchange.

What it's used for

• Web hosting, dedicated and managed servers, colocation, and domain registration, plus IPv4 and IPv6 transit for other networks.
• The address space is server-side: the network fronts hosted customer machines rather than subscriber access lines.

Notable

• Luxembourg is a small country with an outsized data centre sector, and root S.A. is one of the local operators that helped establish its peering fabric rather than depending on Frankfurt or Amsterdam.
• The AS operates its own public site at as5577.net, which is a habit of operators that expect to be looked up as a network rather than as a brand.
