AS2906

AS2906 is the peering autonomous system for Netflix's Open Connect content-delivery network, registered to Netflix Streaming Services Inc. under ARIN (registry ASName AS-SSI). It exists specifically to peer at Netflix's own points of presence; a second ASN, AS40027, is used for the embedded Open Connect Appliances (OCAs) that Netflix places inside ISP networks to serve video locally. A useful detail for triage is that the netflix.com control plane is served from AWS (in the US and Ireland) rather than from AS2906, so AS2906 and AS40027 carry the video-streaming traffic, not the website's API/control plane. The network is small in address terms but exemplary on route hygiene: in the observed view every originated prefix (IPv4 and IPv6) was RPKI-valid with no invalids, making it a good "clean" reference for origin-validation comparisons. Netflix publishes an open peering policy, prefers route-server sessions, and is present at exchanges such as IX.br (São Paulo, Rio, Porto Alegre, Fortaleza) and FL-IX. An address here is Netflix streaming infrastructure; an AS40027 address is an OCA embedded in an ISP — both very low ambiguity.

Analyst note

An IP here is Netflix streaming infrastructure; AS40027 = a Netflix OCA embedded in an ISP. Very low ambiguity.
