AS11858 CM2COM

CM2COM is held by Open Text Corporation, the Waterloo, Ontario enterprise information-management software company. The ARIN record carries an Open Text postal address in Waterloo, so this is a Canadian network despite sitting in ARIN space.

What it's used for

A single corporate block. RIS observes exactly one announced prefix, 207.195.160.0/20 (4,096 addresses), no IPv6, and two observed BGP neighbours. Two upstreams and one prefix is an enterprise or a service platform buying transit for itself; nothing here has the peer count or the prefix churn of a provider.

The reverse DNS points at servers rather than at people. 207.195.160.5 resolves to server-rwq-v.static.cm2.net and 207.195.168.5 to server-rwy-v.static.cm2.net. Naming of the form server-<id>-v under a static. label is machine space, not an end-user access pool, so the block reads as company infrastructure and hosted services rather than an eyeball network.

ARIN registers the prefix as CM2-A-BLK-1 to Open Text Corporation, so registrant and announcer are the same party and the prefix-registrant check clears cleanly.

Notable

Both the AS handle (CM2COM) and the rDNS zone (cm2.net) are older names than the current holder. Open Text has grown largely by acquisition, and a retained domain and handle are the usual residue of that. Which acquisition specifically brought the block in is not established by anything in the routing or registry data, so this card does not guess at it.
