AS11168 SCC

SCC is held by Smart Choice Communications, LLC of West 45th Street, New York. SmartChoice is a business-focused voice carrier and ISP: hosted PBX and UCaaS (including Microsoft Teams voice), SIP trunking, SD-WAN, and dedicated internet into commercial buildings, mostly in the New York metro and its later Florida offices.

What it's used for

Serving business customers, not consumers and not other networks. RIS sees 20 IPv4 prefixes / 12,544 addresses and no IPv6, reached through just 3 observed neighbours. The combination matters: a mid-sized address pool behind only three upstreams describes a service provider that terminates customers on its own edge, whereas a wholesale carrier with this much space would be peering with dozens or hundreds of ASes. The fragmentation into many /23s and /24s is the classic shape of a CLEC that accumulated small assignments market by market.

Notable

The registrant column reads oddly at first — most prefixes are LVLT-SCC-235-* networks inside Level 3's legacy 8.0.0.0/8 — but the SCC-235 embedded in those names is SmartChoice's own ARIN org handle, and the two larger blocks (66.117.112.0/20, 162.221.16.0/21) are registered directly to it. Carrier-parented network names with the customer's own org handle are a reassignment, not a third-party lease, so the inventory is consistent with the holder.

Interesting

The ASN is registered to the same org handle that appears throughout the address space, which is what lets a scattered-looking Level 3-derived footprint be read confidently as one operator's rather than as brokered space.
