AS7148 GRAPHNET-NET

GRAPHNET-NET belongs to Graphnet, Inc., a New York-headquartered enterprise

messaging company whose business is cloud fax, SMS, email and document-delivery

services for large corporate customers.

What it's used for

• Running Graphnet's own message-transport platform — the servers and gateways that accept, convert and deliver fax/email/SMS traffic for its enterprise clients.
• Announces both ARIN space (192.206.112.0/24) and a RIPE /19 (195.90.32.0/19, registered to Graphnet Inc. as a European allocation), reflecting delivery points on both sides of the Atlantic.

Notable

• Reverse DNS mixes US and European hostnames (inet2.graphnet.com alongside hd-srv.graphnet.fr and a London-named router), which is what a transaction-delivery network looks like: a handful of named platform hosts, no subscriber addressing at all.
• This is an enterprise service platform, not a hosting or transit provider — the address space carries Graphnet's own application traffic.

Interesting

• Graphnet's roots go back to the era of store-and-forward telex and fax networks, and the company transitioned that business into IP-based cloud messaging; the 1996-registered AS number sits somewhere in the middle of that arc.
