[Jenkins-infra] Cucumber bandwidth situation

I wonder if there's any way to track who this IP address belongs to. Port
22 responds with "SSH-2.0-NetScreen", which I assume is a Juniper NetScreen
<http://www.juniper.net/us/en/products-services/security/netscreen/>. The
IP address claims to be in San Francisco
<http://64.125.71.142.ipaddress.com/>.
