Summary
3M Company
enterprise legacy
3M-HDQ-AS is the corporate network of 3M Company, the diversified manufacturer
headquartered in the Saint Paul, Minnesota area.
What it's used for
- Enterprise IT for 3M: corporate offices, manufacturing sites, laboratories and the company's internet-facing services.
- Announces a large legacy inventory — including
130.99.0.0/16,136.229.0.0/16and contiguous space in169.6.0.0/15and169.8.0.0/14— roughly a million IPv4 addresses in total.
Notable
- The address count is misleading as a measure of activity. Almost none of this space carries public reverse DNS, which is the signature of a corporation that numbered itself generously in the early 1990s and has kept the space internal ever since.
- Nothing here is eyeball or hosting space: it is a single company's private network, and prefixes should be attributed to 3M's own sites rather than to any service provider.
Interesting
- Large industrial firms that joined the internet early are among the quietest holders of big IPv4 blocks — visible in the routing table, nearly invisible in the DNS.
