About this network

AS-DYNASCALE-LAX belongs to Dynascale Technologies, Inc., a Southern California data-centre, colocation, and cloud operator that grew out of Alchemy Communications — whose alchemy.net domain still shows up in the reverse DNS on its ranges.

What it's used for

• Colocation, dedicated servers, and cloud hosting out of Dynascale facilities in the Los Angeles / Irvine area, with the company also registered in Las Vegas, Nevada.
• Announces roughly 65,000 IPv4 addresses spread across several hundred mostly /24 prefixes, drawn from its own DYNASCALE- allocations (66.226.0.0/19, 72.26.96.0/19, 172.110.96.0/19, 209.132.x, 208.118.x and others).

Notable

• The fan-out of many /24s is characteristic of a hosting provider that assigns small blocks to individual customers, rather than of an ISP handing out a subscriber pool.
• Dynascale peers widely — Cogent, Level 3/Lumen, GTT, Zayo, NTT, Hurricane Electric and others all appear as neighbours, which is what you'd expect of a content-heavy hosting network buying diverse transit.

Interesting

• The LAX in the handle is the airport code for Los Angeles, a common way for hosting companies to name a site-specific AS.
