Context

Andreas Duering operates AS216427, a personal IPv6 autonomous system for educational purposes, with public routing policies and MANRS participation. The evidence is strong for network operations but weak for biography; all career details are self-reported. The network's small scale limits impact, but its transparent security practices make it useful for monitoring individual operator trends. Key watchpoints include shifts in peering, prefix announcements, sponsorship, and MANRS status.

AS216427 is a personal, non-commercial IPv6 autonomous system operated by Andreas Duering for educational and experimental purposes.

What It Does

Operating model: Duering operates the AS as a private individual without customers or revenue. It serves as a platform for learning and self-hosting.
Sponsorship: iFog GmbH sponsors the AS, and Securebit AG sponsors the IPv6 prefix. These relationships provide infrastructure without transferring control.

Operating Snapshot

Network type: IPv6-only autonomous system with a documented prefix 2a06:de00:ad00::/48, peering at FogIXP and BGP.Exchange, and upstreams including iFog, comtrance, and Freetransit/Openfactory.
Traffic level: Low traffic, no transit services, and no SLA. The network hosts lightweight websites and experimental services.
Security practices: Implements bogon filtering, RPKI validation with stayrtr and FORT, import filters, and MANRS participation.

Control Surface

Routing policy: Duering controls import and export filters, RPKI ROAs, route-set AS216427:AS-OWN, and peering criteria. He can unilaterally change announcements, peering partners, and filter rules.
Registry and exchange presence: He maintains records in RIPE, PeeringDB, MANRS, FogIXP, and BGP.Exchange, which define his public network identity and reachability.

Watchpoints

Prefix count consistency: PeeringDB lists two prefixes while bgp.tools shows one; verifying the current assertion set ensures accurate footprint reporting.
Sponsor continuity: If iFog or Securebit withdraw support, Duering's ability to maintain connectivity may change.
MANRS status: Losing MANRS participation would weaken the public trust signal, though the network scale is small.
Operational change: Shift to commercial services or transit would materially alter the operating model and impact analysis.

Signal Map

Why tracked: Because Duering’s public adherence to MANRS and transparent security practices make AS216427 a useful benchmark for individual operator routing hygiene; changes in his configuration can affect a small set of peers and self-hosted services, and the lack of independent biographical verification introduces uncertainty.
Object role: He is the sole operator of AS216427, controlling BGP announcements, import/export filters, RPKI validation, and peering agreements for a non-commercial IPv6 autonomous system based in Germany.
Impact note: Although traffic volume is minimal, Duering’s routing decisions influence connectivity for his own services and upstreams. His consistent use of RPKI and bogon filtering demonstrates that even tiny autonomous systems can contribute to a more secure routing landscape, offering an observable signal for researchers and network operators.
