About this network

Salsgiver is an internet provider serving small towns in western Pennsylvania.

What it's used for

• Local internet access. The reverse DNS names each address after the town it serves, under salsgiver.com with a two-part suffix: ind-pa, frpt-pa, blar-pa, rurv-pa, com-pa. One of them adds the medium as well — 208-248-109-126.frpt-pa.fiber.salsgiver.com.

Notable

• Eleven prefixes for 4,864 addresses, and they come from at least four different histories. Four blocks carry UU- netnames, the naming UUNET used for space it handed to customers. Five more are registered as NETBLK-DRAZOR-1 to Digital Razor, Inc. Two are registered to Salsgiver Engineering rather than Salsgiver, Inc.
• Eight observed BGP neighbours for a network of under five thousand addresses.
• No IPv6 announced.

Interesting

• One /24 is registered as GAZETTE-PRINTERS to the Indiana Printing and Publishing Company, which publishes the newspaper in Indiana, Pennsylvania — one of the towns in the reverse DNS. A local paper that bought a block of addresses in the era when a newspaper ran its own servers, still announced by the local ISP decades later.
• Encoding the town into every hostname is a small-ISP habit that pays off during an outage: the name of a failing address says which exchange to drive to. Larger providers gave this up for pure address-derived names once the count of towns stopped being memorable.
