About this network

ZeXoTeK IT-Services GmbH (Webtraffic) — a small German hosting and IT-services company. The AS announces roughly 10,000 IPv4 addresses, but they split into two very different halves and only one of them belongs to ZeXoTeK.

What it's used for

• Its own provider-independent 193.107.144.0/22 (DE-ZEXOTEK-PI) carries ordinary hosting: named customer servers on their own domains, an Austrian ISP's gateway, a media-software vendor's streaming host.
• The much larger 176.96.96.0/19 is not ZeXoTeK's allocation. It is registered to FiberLink GmbH of Vienna (AT-FIBERLINK-20110720) and merely routed by ZeXoTeK — the route object says so explicitly (IP routing via zexotek.de).

Notable

• That FiberLink /19 is wall-to-wall outbound mail infrastructure. Almost every host resolves as a mail transfer agent (mta-…, mail-…, smx…, emx…, mxta…) under dozens of unrelated, generic-sounding domains: premium-nst.com, nst-dedicated.com, content-meltor.com, connectzonenews.com, mailtrixy.com, xhitnetwork.com and many more. That is the classic spread-out bulk-mail (snowshoe) naming pattern.
• Do not geolocate the /19 to ZeXoTeK's German address. The registrant is a different company in a different country, and the AS is only its transit.

Interesting

• Two halves, two stories, one AS. Reading the holder's name alone would card this as an ordinary German hoster and miss that four-fifths of its address space is somebody else's mail farm.
