Summary
Internet Archive
hosting legacy
The network of the Internet Archive (INTERNET-ARCHIVE), the San Francisco
non-profit digital library behind archive.org and the Wayback Machine.
What it's used for
- Serving archive.org, the Wayback Machine, Open Library and the Archive's streaming and full-text search services.
- Hosting the Archive's own storage clusters. Reverse DNS on the announced space is unmistakable:
www.archive.org, node names likeia801200.us.archive.orgfor the petabox storage servers, andfold1.toronto.archive.orgfor the Canadian mirror.
Notable
- The Archive runs its own infrastructure rather than renting cloud capacity, so this AS fronts one of the larger self-hosted content libraries on the public internet from a comparatively small address footprint (roughly 6k IPv4 plus a
/48of IPv6). - The address space is directly registered to the Internet Archive with ARIN, and the ASN itself dates to a 1997 registration.
Interesting
- The Toronto rDNS reflects the Archive's deliberate policy of keeping a full copy of its collections outside the United States.
