Birch/Primus/Fusion Network ASN integration?

Tue Jun 18 21:33:58 UTC 2019

The Globalinx network was migrated into the Fusion network earlier this year about 27 Weeks Ago is what my router interface tells me. We ended up running new interconnects with them and changing peering from Globalinx’s ASN to the Fusion Network ASN 11696. The birch ASN 17184 is reachable via AS11696. I am not sure if this was a special setup for us or not.

This is for the legacy Globalinx Network AS46191 199.x.84.0/24 and 199.x.85.0/24 if you were connecting to the 5Linx / Globalinx Broadsoft environment.

I connect to Globalinx (another Birch acquisition) via AS17184. It looks like they also have AS16526.

Mea culpa. I'm actually not finding much for Fusion Connect Inc. in terms of normal BGP presence (peeringdb page, an AS that's known to tools like the bgp.he.net<http://bgp.he.net> tool, etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birch_Communications

AS20175 Birch Communications Inc. doesn't appear to be doing much of anything

There's also this, which is one of their earlier acquisitions: https://www.peeringdb.com/net/3238

Hey all,

I'm looking for any info that might be publicly available regarding intentions to merge the Primus ASN into Birch/Fusion Network, or whether it will remain its own thing.
