MDNET (AS40138)

MDNET (AS40138) is a one-person network run by Mach Dilemma, LLC that exists to hold up infrastructure other people depend on rather than to sell anything. It provides secondary authoritative DNS at no charge to operators of significant internet services, the public time-server pool among them, along with time service, caching for map tiles and device endpoints, and malware sinkholes used for security research.

The scale is correspondingly modest and this page should not pretend otherwise: thirteen IPv4 prefixes and forty-five IPv6, fewer than three thousand addresses in total. The wide geography attached to this record is explained by its upstreams — it announces from rented anycast nodes on commercial platforms, notably NetActuate's, rather than from equipment of its own, so the buildings on the list are somebody else's. Interconnection is open and unconditional at a handful of American exchanges. There is no product, no pricing and no service commitment, and the operator's own site says only that it runs distributed infrastructure for the benefit of the internet.
