AS8908 SBP-AS

SBP-AS belongs to SwissLife Banque Privée SA, the French private-banking and

wealth-management arm of the Swiss Life insurance group. Despite the Swiss parent,

the network is French: the registry contacts sit at 7 Place Vendôme, Paris.

What it's used for

• Corporate connectivity for the bank itself — a single 62.160.27.0/24, held as provider-aggregatable space assigned out of Oleane/Orange, announced through two upstreams.
• The AS exists so the bank can multihome its own edge rather than depend on one carrier, which is the usual reason a financial institution of this size runs BGP at all.

Notable

• This is enterprise address space, not an ISP: 256 addresses, no downstream networks, no customer prefixes, and no rDNS delegated on the block. Nothing here serves the public internet.
• A famous-sounding Swiss name attached to a French registration is a reminder to read the registry contacts rather than the brand. The addresses belong in Paris.

Interesting

• The number sits in an early-1990s range, but a small bank's /24 says nothing about internet pedigree — the ASN was assigned by the RIPE NCC for a routine multihoming need, and the size of the network has never grown beyond it.
