AS11865 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 512 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.
About this network
EPE-ASN-BGP-1 is El Paso Electric, the regulated electric utility serving El Paso, Texas and southern New Mexico. It is a corporate network for a utility, not a service provider or anything to do with the power grid's control systems being exposed to the internet.
What it's used for
The company's own internet edge. RIS observes two announced prefixes, 204.238.72.0/24 and 198.199.180.0/24 (512 addresses in total), no IPv6, and two observed BGP neighbours. Two /24s and two upstreams is a business multihoming for availability. There is no address volume, and no peer count, that could support customers.
The reverse DNS is first-party and confirms the holder directly. Both sampled addresses in 204.238.72.0/24 resolve under epelectric.com: 204.238.72.5 to 204-238-72-5.epelectric.com and 204.238.72.133 to 204-238-72-133.epelectric.com. Dashed-quad hostnames under the company's own domain are generic per-address PTRs on corporate space, the pattern of a network naming its own block.
ARIN registers 204.238.72.0/24 as EPE-2 and 198.199.180.0/24 as EPE, both to El Paso Electric. Registrant, announcer and rDNS all name the same utility, so the prefix-registrant test clears without qualification.
Notable
Utilities appear in this AS range more than once, and they consistently look like this: a couple of /24s, a couple of upstreams, and self-named rDNS. Nothing observable here distinguishes El Paso Electric's network from any other mid-size enterprise.
