Summary
Intellectual Ventures Management, LLC
enterprise legacy
IV-AS belongs to Intellectual Ventures Management, LLC, the invention and
patent-licensing firm based on SE Eastgate Way in Bellevue, Washington.
What it's used for
- Corporate connectivity for Intellectual Ventures' own offices and lab operations.
- Announces a single
/24— 256 IPv4 addresses, one of the smallest routed footprints you will find on a four-digit ASN.
Notable
- A single
/24behind its own AS number is the signature of an organisation that multihomes for resilience rather than for scale: it wants provider independence for a small block, not address space to hand out. - This is an enterprise network. Nothing about the space is hosting, transit or consumer traffic.
Interesting
- Both the ARIN organisation record and the AS number registration are from the 2010s, so despite the low number this is a reissued ASN — it was returned and handed out again, and carries no early-internet history.
