About this network
FIDO-ANYCAST is a UK network associated with Fido.net Limited / FidoNet Registration Services Ltd (the current RIPE holder object reads OfficeNet Systems Limited). Fido.net is a broadband, connectivity and hosting ISP based in East Sussex, England.
What it's used for
The AS announces 185.11.204.0/22 and 193.26.210.0/24 (~1,280 addresses) with a single observed neighbour. Sampled rDNS resolves to 185-11-204-N.as30909.net — the naming of Fido.net's other ASN (AS30909) — so the space rides Fido.net's own infrastructure. The ANYCAST handle suggests it also fronts anycast (likely DNS) service.
What it carries
Server/infrastructure-style naming rather than dynamic subscriber pools; this is a provider's own routed space, used for connectivity and hosted services.
Notable
- First seen in BGP in 2000; the FIDO naming ties back to the historic FidoNet store-and-forward network, though the operator today is a conventional UK ISP.
