About this network

Willamette Valley Internet is an Oregon provider serving small towns in the valley south of Portland, run by the local telephone company.

What it's used for

• Residential and business internet. The reverse DNS names the town and often the technology: scio-dsl-67-43-75-254.smt-net.com and lyons-calixE7.64-130-203-254.static.wvi.com point at Scio and Lyons, two Oregon communities, with the latter naming the Calix access equipment the subscriber sits behind.

Notable

• The AS handle is SCTCNET and three netnames start with SCT, from the telephone company behind the ISP, while the registrant on every block reads Willamette Valley Internet. The service brand and the operating company are two different names for the same organisation.
• 17,000 addresses over six prefixes with two observed BGP neighbours. About as small as a network gets while still running its own AS.
• One /24 is Cogent-registered under the netname COGC — provider space alongside the blocks the company holds itself.
• No IPv6 announced.

Interesting

• Putting equipment identifiers into reverse DNS, as lyons-calixE7 does, is a habit from networks small enough that the operator knows every cabinet by name. It makes the DNS double as an inventory, which is useful right up until the hardware is replaced.
