AS11621 REYESHOLDINGSLLC

REYESHOLDINGSLLC is Reyes Holdings, L.L.C. of Rosemont, Illinois — one of the largest privately held food and beverage distribution groups in the United States, and the parent of Martin Brower, the global supply-chain company that distributes to McDonald's restaurants. This is a multinational corporate network.

What it's used for

Enterprise connectivity for the group's distribution business: distribution centres, warehouse and logistics systems, and the corporate sites behind them. RIS sees 9 announced v4 prefixes carrying 2,304 addresses, no IPv6, and 5 observed BGP neighbours. Nine /24s and a handful of upstreams is a multi-homed corporate edge with sites in several countries — far too small to be selling anything, and multi-homed for availability rather than capacity.

Notable

This AS is a textbook case of the pattern that looks like address brokerage and is not. The prefix registrants span three RIRs and four different-looking orgs: RHCORP-IPV4 (Reyes Holdings) in ARIN, MARTINBROWER1-AU (Martin-Brower Australia Pty. Ltd.) in APNIC, and RIPE blocks under UK-MARTIN-BROWER-20210720 and FR-MARTIN-BROWER-20210625. Scattered /24s, multiple RIRs, several registrant names — the shape that should make you look twice.

What clears it is that the registrants are not unrelated. Martin Brower is a Reyes Holdings company, and its national subsidiaries hold address space in the RIRs where they operate, which is exactly what a multinational does. The reverse DNS confirms it from the other direction: 63.85.68.5 resolves to host5.martin-brower.com — first-party naming in the group's own domain.

Interesting

The RIPE handles carry their allocation dates in the name (20210720, 20210625), dating the UK and French entities' address registrations to mid-2021.
