About this network

The registry "name" on this AS, Gedimino av. 12, is a street address in Vilnius, not a company. The actual holder is UAB "Lrytas", the Lithuanian media company behind lrytas.lt, one of the country's largest news portals.

What it's used for

• A single /24 (193.41.197.0/24) carrying the company's own internet-facing systems. Reverse DNS on the block resolves straight to lrytas.lt hostnames such as a mail relay and a TV/streaming host.
• This is a publisher running its own small multihomed network for its newsroom and online properties, not a service provider. No customer or subscriber space.

Notable

• Corporate address, not consumer or hosting space. Everything in the range belongs to the media company itself. An IP here maps to Lrytas infrastructure in Vilnius.
• The AS is a good example of a registry-name trap: several databases card it under the street address Gedimino av. 12, which looks like an organisation name until you read the RIPE organisation: object, where the registrant, admin contact and abuse contact all carry lrytas.lt details.

Interesting

• Running a whole autonomous system for one /24 is unusual for a publisher today, but it was ordinary for an organisation that connected in the era this AS number was issued. The network has stayed small and single-purpose ever since.
