AS12162 — DATA-DISTIBUTORS-AS

AS12162 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 256 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

One /24, one upstream, and a typo preserved in the AS handle.

What it's used for

• Corporate connectivity. 256 addresses in a single /24 with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The AS handle reads DATA-DISTIBUTORS-AS, missing the R from DISTRIBUTORS.
• The holder field beside it spells the company correctly.
• The block, 146.115.200.0/24, is netname DATADIST-RCN, registered to Data Distributors.
• First seen in routing data in September 2005.

Interesting

• Registry handles are effectively immutable in practice. Changing one means every object that references it has to be updated, so a misspelling entered once tends to stay entered, and this one has been misspelt since at least 2005.
• RCN in the netname is the carrier the block came through, a cable and fibre operator serving the northeastern United States. Two organisations named in six characters, which is efficient and completely opaque unless you already know.
• 146.115 is early allocation, and a company distributing data was, in that era, likely moving it on tape and disk as much as over any network.
