AS9017 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 256 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

MDAM is held by Marcus van Dam, an individual in the Netherlands (an active network engineer, m4rcu5 online), not a company.

What it's used for

A personal/hobbyist autonomous system. It announces a single 176.117.63.0/24 with one observed neighbour, the smallest possible operational footprint, so there is no honest provider bucket for it: it is one person routing a /24 for their own use.

Notable

No PTRs were returned on the addresses sampled. The /24 was first seen in BGP in 2016, so despite the low AS number this is a modern registration to an individual rather than an early-internet institutional holder; the historical angle does not apply.

Interesting

Individually held ASNs like this are common among network engineers who want their own portable block and BGP presence; the low four-digit number reflects reissue, not age of use.
