Summary
A-Link Network Services
isp legacy
ALINK is A-Link Network Services, Inc., a communications service provider in the San Jose / Sunnyvale area of California's Silicon Valley. It has held this AS number since 1996.
What it's used for
- Business internet access and managed voice/data services for small and mid-sized companies in the Bay Area.
- Connectivity for commercial office buildings and multi-tenant properties, plus public hotspots.
- Announces a couple of dozen mostly
/24prefixes drawn from207.135.xand216.39.x, plus IPv6.
Notable
The customer base is businesses and buildings, not households. That shows in the shape of the network: many small prefixes handed to individual customers and tenant sites, rather than large contiguous consumer pools with dsl- or cgn- style reverse DNS.
A small regional provider holding a sub-6500 AS number is a marker of the mid-1990s, when the Bay Area produced a large crop of independent ISPs; A-Link is one of the few from that cohort still operating under its own name.
