About this network

RAINBOWISP-AS is operated by Rainbow Communications India Pvt Ltd.

What it's used for

• The address space carries residential broadband traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries pointing to rainbowisp.in and server.rainbowisp.in.
• The AS announces 10,752 IPv4 addresses across 19 prefixes and 19 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 11 observed neighbours; this ratio indicates an access network providing last-mile connectivity rather than transit.
• Traffic from this AS consists of subscriber eyeballs accessing the internet via Fiber To The Home broadband technology, as the operator is a regional ISP in Tamil Nadu.

Notable

• Registrants for the majority of prefixes align with the announcer, showing netnames RAINBOWISP and RAINBOW under IRT-RAINBOWISP-IN and IRT-RAINBOW-IN, though some blocks are registered under distinct handles like SANGAKPM, MADESH26, CLOUDV, AIRWAYA, AIRDATASP, and DOCOMISP.
• The address inventory is fragmented into multiple /22, /23, and /24 blocks, with a mix of 45.x, 103.x, and 163.x ranges, suggesting organic growth or acquisition of smaller IP blocks over time.
