About this network

What it's used for

Everything about the shape says small self-run network rather than a service provider. Three /24s, two neighbours and no v6 is a footprint one person can hold in their head; there is no customer aggregation, no address growth over time, and no transit role.

The notable detail is a registry-versus-routing mismatch. The ASN is an APNIC resource with a New Zealand registrant, but the three prefixes it originates — 199.212.90.0/24, 199.212.93.0/24 and 205.233.243.0/24 — are legacy ARIN-region space, and geolocation puts the addresses in Europe (chiefly the Netherlands, with a smaller UK share) rather than in New Zealand at all. A cross-RIR spread on a network this small is not the address-broker pattern (that shape needs many scattered blocks registered to unrelated parties); it reads more like an operator who has held these blocks for a long time and now announces them from wherever they happen to host.

Notable

• Public data describes the network as business/hosting rather than access, consistent with the small, static address footprint and the European hosting locations.
• The NZ registration, the ARIN legacy prefixes and the European geolocation all disagree with each other, so do not infer the network's operating country from any one of them.
