Summary
Yahoo
enterprise hosting edge legacy
YAHOO-DNB is a small Yahoo network. It is one of several autonomous systems the
company runs to carry its own services; Yahoo's bulk traffic rides other, much
larger ASNs.
What it's used for
- Serving Yahoo's own web properties and supporting infrastructure. Reverse DNS on the range resolves under
yahoo.com, with router names marking it as edge networking equipment.
Notable
- Content-provider infrastructure rather than a hosting company: you cannot buy space here, and the addresses front Yahoo's services rather than third-party customers.
- Deliberately small. Only three IPv4
/24s plus an IPv6/48are announced, around 768 addresses, which points to a single site or edge point of presence rather than a full data-center footprint.
