Um, well actually, I have a PhD in Computing, but not the 'right sort' of computing. Having focussed for so long on a kind of computing that was of interest to nobody but me, I'm playing catch-up on industry buzzwords. But I do dimly remember some lectures from long ago about whois and network addresses. The 'Route Object' the OP refers to is just a name given by TM to an IP range they own. They could have called it 'Fred' just as meaningfully. The IP he looked up is within a smaller range, within that range of TM's, and seems to belong to Acer. I suspect he has some Acer supportware running.
