AS9165 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 16,384 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

AS9165 (PROSODIEIBERICA-AS) is held by Prosodie Ibérica SL, the Spanish arm of Prosodie, a French multi-channel customer-interaction and IT-outsourcing operator that was acquired by Capgemini in 2011 and now trades as Prosodie-Capgemini.

What it's used for

This is a service-provider-to-enterprise network rather than an eyeball ISP. RIS sees 5 IPv4 prefixes covering 16,384 addresses and no IPv6 at all. The space is two blocks, 212.101.64.0/19 and 62.97.128.0/19, with the latter also announced as its constituent /21s. Deaggregating a /19 into /21s like that is typically done to steer traffic between multiple entry points or to protect individual sub-blocks, and it points at a network that is engineered rather than merely provisioned.

Six observed BGP neighbours puts it firmly outside carrier territory. A transit business of any size peers with hundreds; a handful of upstreams and peers on a 16k-address footprint says the AS carries Prosodie's own platforms and those of its outsourcing customers. The sampled reverse DNS supports that: 62.97.148.5 resolves to relayhost01.prosodie.es, a mail relay under the company's own Spanish domain, the sort of shared infrastructure hostname you find in a managed-services estate rather than on a residential access network.

Notable

• Prosodie's business is managed contact-centre, payment and transactional-flow platforms for large corporate accounts, so the address space fronts hosted customer services.
• The -AS handle predates the Capgemini acquisition; registry records still carry the standalone Prosodie Ibérica entity.
• No IPv6 is announced from this AS.
