Transit RIPE
Summary
GTT (former KPN International / Eurorings)
transit backbone
AS286 (KPN) was the backbone of KPN International / KPN Eurorings — the Dutch
incumbent's international wholesale arm — now a legacy ASN under GTT
Communications.
What it's used for
- Historically, pan-European IP transit and wholesale backbone services (the "Eurorings" network), distinct from KPN's Dutch consumer broadband.
Notable
- GTT acquired KPN International in 2019 and migrated the network into its primary backbone [AS3257](https://asn.ipinfo.app/AS3257) by 2021. AS286 is now marked legacy/deprecated and is largely no longer announced.
- Seeing AS286 in older data reflects the pre-GTT Eurorings backbone rather than a currently active independent carrier.
Interesting
- "Eurorings" referred to KPN's ring-based European fibre topology, once one of the larger carrier backbones on the continent.
