About this network

A small provider whose reverse DNS names the router, the interface and the town.

What it's used for

• Local connectivity and hosting. 512 addresses in two /24s, one IPv6 /48, and a single observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• One address answers lo0.br0.williston.clearbearing.net — a loopback interface, on border router zero, in Williston.
• Another answers secure.clearbearing.net. The rest follow the template c-64-25-213-127.clearbearing.net.
• 64.25.213.0/24 is netname TELJETVT-CLEARBEARING-1, with a provider's name and a state abbreviation on the front.

Interesting

• lo0 is a loopback address, the one an operator assigns to the router itself rather than to any of its ports, so that the device stays reachable no matter which cable is up. Publishing it in DNS with the role and the site in the name is a small kindness to whoever reads a traceroute at three in the morning.
• Six addresses sampled, six answers, three naming conventions. Small networks are the ones where reverse DNS still gets written by hand, and hand-written records are the only ones that ever tell you anything.
