AS35280 is the routing footprint of F5 Distributed Cloud, and its registry record tells you where it came from: allocated in France, held by a French entity, and annotated in the RIPE database with a remark that it was formerly Acorus Networks and Volterra. F5 bought Volterra in January 2021 for 500 million dollars and inherited the French scrubbing and edge network along with it. Silverline, the managed protection service F5 ran before that, has been declared end of life and its customers moved onto Distributed Cloud.

For a tenant this is a security and delivery cloud rather than something you interconnect with commercially. There is no port, cross-connect or transit product on it — you attach over the public internet, by diverting traffic to it, or by running an F5 software node inside your own cage and letting it join the platform's regional edges over connectivity you already have. What proximity buys is a shorter path to those regional edges. Note too that the heavier scrubbing footprint sits on a separate F5 system registered in the United States, so prefixes diverted during an attack may not originate here at all.
