Summary
Partan & Partan
enterprise legacy
A small independent network (PARTAN-LAB) registered to Partan & Partan of
Takoma Park, Maryland, the practice of long-time network engineer Andrew Partan.
What it's used for
- A handful of
/24s announced from a small private network — a lab and consulting network rather than a commercial service provider. - Address space includes blocks out of ranges historically associated with early US internet exchange and backbone infrastructure.
Notable
- Tiny by address count, but it holds its own AS number and speaks BGP — the classic profile of a network run by someone who works on the internet for a living and wants their own routing policy.
- Andrew Partan is a familiar name in early internet engineering circles, including contributions to the BIND DNS server.
