Autonomous system
AS6976 VZN-VOL2
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Verizon Business (VZN-VOL2)
enterprise legacy
One of Verizon Business's many autonomous systems (VZN-VOL2), carrying Verizon
service infrastructure rather than the company's backbone or its broadband
subscribers.
What it's used for
- Announces roughly 11k IPv4 addresses, mostly from the legacy GTE-registered
206.46.0.0/16plus199.180.0.0/21. - Reverse DNS on the space resolves to Verizon-operated service platforms — DNS servers, Verizon Business mail (
bizmailsrvcs.net) endpoints, and internal operations hosts — rather than to customer or subscriber pools.
Notable
- It is not Verizon's transit backbone: that is [AS701](https://asn.ipinfo.app/AS701), which is this AS's sole upstream. AS6976 is a stub with no downstream ASNs.
- The address space is a fossil of Verizon's corporate lineage:
206.46.0.0/16was a GTE allocation, and GTE became Verizon in 2000. - Verizon Business operates a couple of hundred distinct ASNs; they are not interchangeable, and this one's role is service hosting for Verizon's own platforms.
