About this network

Riscom S.A. (AS8474) is an internet service provider in Chișinău, Moldova, operating on the riscom.net domain. It is one of the country's longer-standing independent operators.

What it's used for

• Internet access and fixed-line telephony for customers in Chișinău and the surrounding area; the company states it operates only within Moldova.
• Hosting for the provider's own web, mail and DNS services.

Notable

• A small network by any measure: seven contiguous /24s (about 1,800 IPv4 addresses) in 195.138.96.0/21, a single upstream and no downstream customers.
• Reverse DNS follows a plain NN-NN-NNN-NNN.riscom.net pattern across the whole range, so the space is clearly the operator's own rather than third-party address stock.

Interesting

• The AS is registered in Moldova, but Riscom's contiguous 195.138.96.0/21 block and its low AS number both date to an era when a national ISP could be numbered out of a single RIPE /21.
