About this network
Registered as Flens-net with the RIR remark "germany", this AS belongs to Stadt Flensburg — the city administration of Flensburg, on Germany's Baltic coast at the Danish border. The contacts sit at Rathausplatz 1, the city hall.
What it's used for
- The municipal government's own network. It announces a single provider-independent /24, netname FLENSBURG, plus one IPv6 /48 — 256 IPv4 addresses in total, with two BGP neighbours and no downstream customers.
- No rDNS is delegated on the sampled space, which is normal for a small council block that fronts a handful of services and keeps the rest internal.
Notable
- This is a local government network, not an ISP and not an enterprise. Provider-independent space plus a low-numbered AS is a common shape for German municipalities, which took address space early and have kept it multi-homed ever since.
- The address space belongs to the city administration and should be attributed to it, not to whichever regional carrier happens to be upstream on any given day. That independence from a single carrier is the whole reason a council of this size runs its own AS.
Interesting
- The registry "name" here is a good illustration of how little the handle carries: Flens-net plus a bare germany remark is all the object says about itself. The identity comes from the organisation record and the city-hall street address, not the name.
