AS8749 REDCOM-AS Redcom, Khabarovsk, Russia

JSC "Redcom-Internet" (REDCOM-AS) — a regional internet and cable-TV provider

in Khabarovsk, in Russia's Far East, serving the city and nearby settlements

such as Topolevo, Berezovka and Krasnaya Rechka.

What it's used for

• Consumer broadband, cable/digital TV, video surveillance and door-entry services for households in the Khabarovsk region, plus leased connectivity for local businesses.
• The rDNS says the same thing plainly: most of the space resolves to host.IP-ADDR.broadband.redcom.ru, with a smaller leased.redcom.ru zone for dedicated business assignments.

Notable

• This is an eyeball network: roughly 20,000 IPv4 addresses that mostly sit behind subscriber CPE, so traffic from it is home users rather than servers. The broadband label covers the bulk of the inventory.
• The inventory is untidy for its size — a core 212.19.0.0/19 legacy block plus a scattering of later /21s and /24s picked up over time (46.183.128.0/21, 94.125.48.0/21, 159.253.168.0/21, 45.140.92.0/22). All of it carries first-party redcom.ru rDNS, so this is an operator that grew by acquiring address space, not an address broker.

Interesting

• Khabarovsk sits closer to Beijing than to Moscow, and Russian Far East operators are a long way from the country's main peering fabric. That distance is why regional providers like this one exist at all rather than being folded into a national incumbent's footprint.
