AS11511 CRETE-INTERNET

CRETE-INTERNET is Crete Carrier Corporation, a nationwide trucking company

headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska. Despite the handle, this is a freight

carrier, not a telecom carrier.

What it's used for

• Corporate connectivity for a single enterprise. Crete Carrier runs dry van, refrigerated, and flatbed freight across the lower 48 states through its Crete Carrier, Shaffer Trucking, and Hunt Transportation divisions, with terminals scattered around the country. The AS exists so that head office and those terminals reach the internet under the company's own address space.
• RIS sees exactly one announced IPv4 prefix, 23.135.136.0/24 (256 addresses), plus one IPv6 prefix, 2602:80d:4000::/48, and only 2 observed BGP neighbours. That is a textbook multihomed enterprise: a single block of provider-independent space announced to two upstreams for redundancy.

Notable

• The name is a trap worth spelling out. "Carrier" in an ASN handle normally means a network operator, and "Crete" suggests the Greek island. Neither is right. The prefix is registered to Crete Carrier Corporation itself under CRETECARRIER-IPV4, and the company is named for Crete, Nebraska, where it was founded in 1966 before moving to Lincoln.
• Registrant and holder match on the only prefix in the inventory, so there is nothing here that looks like leased or third-party space.

Interesting

• The 23.135.136.0/24 block sits in a late ARIN range, not in legacy swamp space. A low AS number does not imply an old allocation, and this network's addressing is comparatively recent even if the AS number is not.
