About this network

SPARKLENET Multi-National-Customers AS belongs to Telecom Italia Sparkle, the international wholesale and enterprise arm of TIM. It is the AS used for Sparkle's multinational-corporate internet-access product rather than for the Sparkle backbone itself, which is AS6762.

What it's used for

• Roughly 4,000 addresses in four prefixes, all drawn from Sparkle allocations whose registry descriptions read "SPARKLENET - MNC INTERNET SERVICE" — MNC being multinational corporations.
• Reverse DNS across the space is Sparkle's own generic pattern, hostNNN-poolNNNNNNNNN.tisparkle.it, with no per-customer naming.
• A single upstream (Sparkle's own backbone) and no downstream networks: this is customer-access space, not transit.

Notable

• The addresses sit at enterprise sites belonging to many unrelated companies, so a hit here means "a multinational's office behind Sparkle", not a Sparkle facility.
• Do not geolocate to Italy on the strength of the holder. Sparkle registers separate MNC blocks tagged (EU) and (US) inside the same allocation, and the customers are by definition spread across countries.
