AS8784 — AS8784 Managed Services Provider

Network type: hosting

AS8784 announces 18 IPv4 prefixes covering 36,864 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

AS8784 is held by Odigo SASU, the French cloud contact-centre (CCaaS) company. The AS is much older than the name: it was Prosodie, a French hosting and telecoms operator, which Capgemini bought in 2011 and rebranded Prosodie-Capgemini, then Odigo in 2019; Apax Partners spun it out as a standalone company in 2021.

What it's used for

Running Odigo's own platform and the managed services inherited from Prosodie — hosted IVR, voice and payment platforms, and the contact-centre software itself, which serves several hundred thousand agent seats.

The evidence matches a platform operator rather than an ISP:

• Reverse DNS on the sampled address is eth1-2.scr01.gdr.prosodie.net — a backbone router still named for the pre-acquisition brand, in the operator's own domain. No subscriber-pool naming anywhere.
• Roughly 37,000 IPv4 addresses across 26 prefixes, but only four observed BGP neighbours. A network with lots of address space and almost no adjacencies is consuming transit to run its own services, not selling connectivity.
• The inventory is coherent and self-registered: a large contiguous 83.169.x estate plus 195.46.192.0/19, 212.37.192.0/19, 213.139.96.0/19 and 194.117.208.0/20.

Notable

The AS number and the 193.56.37.0/24 prefix that first appears in RIS date from Prosodie's era as a French internet and voice-hosting provider, well before the SaaS business existed. The old brand survives in the router names.

Interesting

Handles outlive their holders, and reverse DNS outlives both. prosodie.net names the backbone of a company that has now been sold twice and renamed twice.
