AS9153 — BURSTFIRE-EU European Peering and Transit AS

AS9153 announces 14 IPv4 prefixes covering 20,224 addresses and 16 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

BURSTFIRE-EU is Burstfire Networks Ltd, an internet provider incorporated in 1999 and based in London's Docklands, selling multihomed IP transit, connectivity, colocation and hosting to SMBs and other operators.

What it's used for

The AS announces three IPv4 blocks (~25k addresses: 46.248.96.0/19, 82.136.0.0/18, 195.22.128.0/23) plus IPv6, and shows ~86 observed neighbours. Sampled reverse DNS is router/backbone naming (gw.82.vlt.burstfire.net, cr0.vlt.burstfire.net), consistent with a transit and hosting carrier rather than a subscriber-access network.

What it's used for

Notable

• The neighbour count (86) well exceeds what a pure hosting shop needs; Burstfire advertises carrier-grade multihomed IP transit to telecom operators, ISPs and content players, which is the dominant role here.
• Reverse DNS names its own network kit, not customer pools, so the announced space reads as backbone/infrastructure plus hosting.
