AS12186 announces 5 IPv4 prefixes covering 1,536 addresses and 2 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Five small blocks, three registrants, and a domain hack for reverse DNS.

What it's used for

• Hosting and infrastructure. 1,536 addresses in five IPv4 prefixes, two IPv6 prefixes, and sixteen observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Three blocks are the holder's own: netnames AS-GVVME-NET2, GVVME-NET1 and GVVME-INFRA-XX.
• 134.195.187.0/24 is netname PROD, registered to One King God Of Thunder LLC.
• 199.168.101.0/24 is netname DS-199-168-101-1-255, registered to Racknut, and answers as 199-168-101-64.gvv.me.
• Two IPv6 blocks of very different sizes: 2607:2c40::/32 and 2620:87:a000::/44.

Interesting

• The reverse DNS zone is gvv.me, which spells the holder's name by borrowing Montenegro's country code as the last syllable. Domain hacks like this were a fashion that outlasted the fashion, and this one is doing real work in a production reverse tree.
• Sixteen neighbours against 1,536 addresses, with space from at least three sources including one company whose registered name is a joke somebody committed to. Small American hosting is full of networks assembled this way: whatever addresses were available, from whoever had them.
