About this network

UKRNET is UkrNet Ltd. of Kyiv, the company behind ukr.net — one of Ukraine's oldest and most-used web properties, best known for its news portal and its free mail.ukr.net webmail service.

What it's used for

• Serving UkrNet's own products rather than selling access. The sampled reverse names are all content and platform infrastructure: srv1.fwdcdn.com and ns1.fwdcdn.net (the CDN and nameservers behind the portal's static assets and mail attachments) and adriver1.ukr.net (ad serving).
• Mail, portal, CDN and the associated hosting and cloud services UkrNet sells to Ukrainian businesses.

Notable

• About 6.1k IPv4 addresses across 17 prefixes, drawn from two legacy ranges (212.42.64.0/19 and 195.214.192.0/22) and deaggregated into /23s and /24s. Seven observed BGP neighbours. No IPv6.
• Content network, not an eyeball network. Despite the "net" in the name and a history stretching back to the early Ukrainian internet, there is no subscriber, DSL or dynamic-pool naming in the space.
• The fwdcdn.com / fwdcdn.net domains are UkrNet's own; a reverse lookup landing there is still inside this operator, not a third-party CDN.
