AS10985 CURTIS-ASNUM

CURTIS-ASNUM belongs to Curtis Instruments, a Mount Kisco, New York manufacturer of motor controllers, instrumentation and control systems for electric vehicles: forklifts and other industrial trucks, aerial work platforms, golf and low-speed vehicles. It is a small corporate AS and nothing else.

What it's used for

The routing is about as simple as it gets. RIS sees 2 announced IPv4 prefixes, 198.200.213.0/24 and 198.200.214.0/24, 512 addresses in total, no IPv6, and 1 observed neighbour. A single upstream and two adjacent /24s means this network has no provider, transit or hosting role available to it: everything it announces is its own, and everything reaches it one way.

What space like this carries at a mid-size manufacturer is the internet-facing corporate edge: mail, VPN concentration for the company's international sites, a web presence, and remote access for engineering. There is no evidence of end-user pools or third-party customers, and no room for them.

Notable

• The AS number and the two /24s are the entire footprint. An enterprise holds its own ASN like this when it wants provider-independent addressing or multi-homing capability, even if today it only routes through one upstream. The single observed neighbour suggests the multi-homing option is currently unused.
• No PTRs came back on the four addresses sampled. That is a sample, not a finding, and nothing is inferred from it.
