Summary
Burstfire Networks Ltd
transit hosting isp legacy
BURSTFIRE-EU is Burstfire Networks Ltd, an internet provider incorporated in 1999 and based in London's Docklands, selling multihomed IP transit, connectivity, colocation and hosting to SMBs and other operators.
What it's used for
The AS announces three IPv4 blocks (~25k addresses: 46.248.96.0/19, 82.136.0.0/18, 195.22.128.0/23) plus IPv6, and shows ~86 observed neighbours. Sampled reverse DNS is router/backbone naming (gw.82.vlt.burstfire.net, cr0.vlt.burstfire.net), consistent with a transit and hosting carrier rather than a subscriber-access network.
What it's used for
Notable
- The neighbour count (86) well exceeds what a pure hosting shop needs; Burstfire advertises carrier-grade multihomed IP transit to telecom operators, ISPs and content players, which is the dominant role here.
- Reverse DNS names its own network kit, not customer pools, so the announced space reads as backbone/infrastructure plus hosting.
