Summary
Kentik Technologies, Inc.
enterprise legacy
CLOUD-42-6169 is registered to Kentik Technologies, Inc., the network-observability and traffic-analytics SaaS company. The CLOUD-42 organisation handle preserves the name the company used before it became Kentik.
What it's used for
- The platform's own production infrastructure: the collectors and services that ingest flow, BGP and SNMP telemetry from customer networks.
- A compact footprint of a few IPv4 prefixes plus a
2620:129::/44, sized for a SaaS backend rather than a hosting business.
Notable
- This is a company running its own network, not selling capacity on it. Traffic here is Kentik's product, so the AS is an enterprise address even though the company's business is networking.
- ARIN registered the ASN to this holder in 2015, so the low number is a reassignment and carries no early-internet history.
Interesting
- An analytics company that watches other people's BGP is itself a fairly small BGP speaker. The scale of the network it operates says nothing about the scale of the networks it observes.
