AS11170 ROLLERNETWORK

ROLLERNETWORK is Roller Network LLC, a small retail colocation and services provider in the Reno-Sparks area of Nevada. Its published business is exactly what the routing shows: cabinet space in its own facility, plus long-running SMTP/IMAP mail hosting and primary/secondary DNS service.

What it's used for

Hosting, with a modest amount of downstream customer routing on top. RIS sees 8 IPv4 prefixes / 4,608 addresses, 1 IPv6 prefix (2607:fe70::/32) and 5 observed neighbours. Five neighbours and a few thousand addresses is a hosting operator that buys transit and peers a little, not a wholesale carrier and not an eyeball network.

Notable

The registrant list is mixed, and that is worth reading carefully rather than reflexively. Roller Network's core blocks are registered to itself (ROLLERNET-IP4-01, ROLLERNET-IP4-03); the rest are registered to other parties (BKSYSTEMS, EZNET-2008-1, a customer-named block in 74.118.152.0/21, and one AFRINIC-registered 102.129.251.0/24). Reverse DNS resolves the ambiguity: the first-party space answers as smtpauth.rollernet.us and lab-static-5.rollernet.us, while the third-party blocks answer under their own domains (birddog.ez-netsys.net, ns2.it-techworks.com). That is a colocation and transit provider originating its customers' own address space, each customer visible as itself, rather than an operator announcing space leased from unrelated shells.

Interesting

The AFRINIC-registered /24 in an otherwise ARIN inventory is the one genuinely untidy piece. Multi-RIR scatter is a leasing tell in general, but here it is a single block against a network whose identity, facility and first-party rDNS are all independently verifiable.
