AS7381 SRS-6-Z-7381

SRS-6-Z-7381 is held today by BroadbandONE, LLC of Boca Raton, Florida, a network and managed-connectivity provider that serves business customers. The AS was registered in 1996 and, for most of its life, was the network of SunGard Availability Services, the disaster-recovery and managed-hosting business.

What it's used for

• Enterprise connectivity and transit. Alongside its own BROAD-5 address blocks, AS7381 originates prefixes registered to its customers, which is the clearest evidence of what it does: retail chains, financial-services firms and other corporates all appear as the registrants of space it announces.
• It has a substantial downstream customer base and takes transit from upstream carriers, so it functions as a mid-sized service provider rather than an end-user network or a host.

Notable

• This is a business-access and transit network, not an eyeball ISP. None of its space carries subscriber-style reverse DNS, and much of it is silent.
• The SRS in the handle and the SunGard-named netblocks still visible inside the AS are fossils of the earlier operator. ARIN's -Z suffix is a legacy-cleanup artefact, not a sign of reassignment: the 1996 registration date is genuine.
• The company markets licensed millimetre-wave spectrum and "telco as a service" offerings, so parts of the network are fixed-wireless rather than fibre.
