About this network

GIG Networks AS (ASN-GIGNETWORKS) is a Norwegian internet provider based in Oslo, operating on the gigbone.net domain.

What it's used for

• Internet connectivity for Norwegian business customers, on both static and dynamically assigned addresses.
• Supporting services and a small amount of transit to one downstream network.

Notable

• The reverse DNS is unusually explicit about the customer type: names run IP-WITH-DASHES.biz.static.gigbone.net and IP-WITH-DASHES.biz.dynamic.gigbone.net. The biz label appears throughout, and no consumer-style pool naming shows up.
• A small operator: about 5,000 IPv4 addresses in two prefixes, plus an IPv6 /32, with a couple of upstreams.

Interesting

• The AS number is far lower than the network's size or age would suggest. Treat the low number as a registry artifact rather than evidence of early-internet pedigree — RIPE's created: dates are not allocation dates, and nothing here points to a 1990s origin.
