AS12037 — FDIC-GOV
AS12037 announces 11 IPv4 prefixes covering 3,328 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.
About this network
The network of the FDIC, the US agency that insures bank deposits and takes over banks when they fail.
What it's used for
- The agency's own operations. Reverse DNS answers under fdic.gov, and one sampled host answers under fdicoig.gov instead.
Notable
- Eleven announced prefixes for only 3,328 addresses: two /23s and eight /24s carved out of 167.176.0.0/16 under the netname FDIC-1, plus a single 192.147.69.0/24 registered separately as FDIC-2.
- Three observed BGP neighbours. No IPv6 announced.
- The registry lists a dedicated network operations contact and a separate abuse contact, which is more structure than most organisations of this size bother to record.
Interesting
- The fdicoig.gov host belongs to the Office of Inspector General, the internal watchdog that audits the FDIC itself. It runs on its own domain, which fits how the office is structured: an inspector general reports to Congress as well as to the agency head, and is meant to be awkward to the organisation it sits inside.
- One of those hosts is named teams02dfw, and dfw is Dallas–Fort Worth, where the FDIC keeps one of its regional offices. The agency was created in 1933 after the bank runs of the Depression, and it still resolves failures the same way: it moves in on a Friday afternoon so the branch can reopen on Monday under a new owner, with depositors' insured money untouched.
