AS11688 LTSTREAM

LTSTREAM belongs to Lightstream Communications, Inc., a Salt Lake City, Utah managed

services and telecom integrator (cloud, connectivity, voice, and security solutions sold

to business customers). ARIN registers the ASN to Lightstream at 208 North 2100 West,

Salt Lake City, with an ASN registration date of 2006.

What it's used for

• Almost nothing, in BGP terms. RIS sees a single /24 (216.111.218.0/24, 256 addresses) and 2 observed neighbours. That is the routing footprint of a company that holds an AS number for multihoming a small corporate/service presence, not of a network carrying customers at scale.

Notable

• The one prefix registers to org Lightstream Communications, Inc. — self-registered space announced by the matching AS, which rules out the IP-leasing shape (that pattern needs several unrelated third-party registrants across multiple RIRs at once, and this has exactly one registrant, the holder).
• Lightstream's business is largely reselling and managing other people's platforms (cloud, carrier circuits, security), which explains the gap between a company of its size and a routed footprint of one /24: most of what it sells does not ride its own AS.
• No IPv6 is announced.

Interesting

• The name is heavily reused. Several unrelated "LightStream" operators exist, including a rural Indiana fibre cooperative and a Colorado ISP; the ARIN postal address is what ties this AS to the Utah company rather than to any of them.
