Anyone know the history behind ASN 2906 (Netflix)?
How did they get a number that low?

I didn’t recognize as2906 so went digging... and I can’t find a thing.
ARIN has a “who has” service but my account on ARIN was locked and I wasn’t
able to unlock without calling them (maybe tomorrow).

The AS-Name is “AS-SSI” (there is an AS-Set listed on RIPE named this)
which I suspect might lead to the original owner. It looks familiar-ish but
I’m not sure who had it before Netflix. Clearly they must have bought it
outright, acquired the original owner, or something, but I’ll be damned if
I can find historical data on who it originally belonged to.
