About this network

A small independent network whose registry objects are named better than most.

What it's used for

• Small-scale hosting and connectivity. 256 addresses in one IPv4 /24, one IPv6 /40, two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The holder is Subconscious, and the AS handle is the same word cut off at ten characters: SUBCONSCIO.
• The /24 carries a different name again. 198.180.182.0/24 is netname SPIES-V4, registered to Spies in the Wire.
• Two neighbours for one /24, so the routing is redundant even at this size.

Interesting

• Three names for one operator, and none of them is a company name in the ordinary sense. Networks this size are usually run by one or two people, and the naming is the part they get to enjoy: the AS holder, the organisation on the address block and the netname itself are each a separate opportunity, and whoever registered these took all three.
• The IPv6 allocation is a /40, which is 256 /48s. In IPv4 this operator has 256 addresses; in IPv6 it has enough to give a /48 to every one of them. That asymmetry is the whole design of IPv6 allocation policy showing up in a single small record.
