Paraíba · network infrastructure
The Paraíba snapshot records seven facilities across two cities, Campina Grande and João Pessoa, holding 22 network presences in total. Campina Grande has the most, and PIX ANID - Campina Grande carries eight networks on its own. No internet exchange operates in the state, so networks here peer outside it.

What a Paraíba IP address tells you
Campina Grande holds four of the seven recorded facilities and most of the state's network presences. PIX ANID - Campina Grande carries eight networks, the highest count in Paraíba, and PJM NET - IDC-CG carries four. In João Pessoa, Tely Joao Pessoa lists five networks and PIX ANID - João Pessoa four. Two records, PGNet Provedor in João Pessoa and PoP - telnet - CGE in Campina Grande, show no networks at all. The snapshot lists no internet exchange in the state, so the networks here trade traffic through upstream providers rather than locally.
A Paraíba IP address is placed in the state because the operator registered the block to an address there, not because anything measured the device. Claro (AS22085), TIM (AS26615) and Vivo (AS26599, AS27699) run their mobile subscribers through regional gateways, so a handset in Campina Grande can leave traffic on an address that geolocation reports from another state. Ranges announced from the 22 facility presences behave more predictably, though the same registration rule decides what they say.
Read the origin ASN on the prefix and the netname in the registry entry instead of trusting a city label. With 22 network presences spread over two cities and no exchange to anchor local routing, paths out of Paraíba vary between operators, and two addresses from the same city can resolve to different places. The ASN says which network announces the block and the netname says what that network declared about it.

Questions
How many data centres are in Paraíba?
The snapshot records seven facilities in Paraíba, four in Campina Grande and three in João Pessoa. Together they hold 22 network presences. PIX ANID - Campina Grande has the highest count with eight networks, and two of the seven records list no networks at all.

No. The snapshot lists no exchange in the state, and no peers with it. Networks in Campina Grande and João Pessoa hand traffic to upstream providers or carry it to exchanges in other Brazilian states before it reaches its destination network.
Can I get an IP address in Paraíba?
