Summary
Cellco Partnership (Verizon)
enterprise legacy
CELLCO-PART — Cellco Partnership, the legal entity that does business as
Verizon Wireless. The ARIN organisation on the record today is Verizon Business
(MCICS, Ashburn, Virginia).
What it's used for
- Announces roughly a hundred small prefixes drawn from legacy UUNET blocks in
65.228.0.0/16and65.229.0.0/16, address space that came into Verizon through the MCI/UUNET side of the business. - The sampled addresses carry no reverse DNS, so the traffic they serve is not visible from the outside; this is not the consumer mobile eyeball network.
Notable
- Verizon's mobile subscriber traffic largely rides other ASNs — this one is a separate, much smaller Cellco/Verizon Business network, so it should not be read as "Verizon Wireless customers".
- A reminder that a carrier's ASNs are not interchangeable: the same corporate parent runs backbone, enterprise and eyeball networks under different numbers.
