About this network

A Canadian provider running two brands' reverse DNS out of one autonomous system.

What it's used for

• Internet access and hosting. 1,024 addresses in four /24s with 12 observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• Three blocks are the company's own: netnames RAVAN, RAVANDCA4 and RAVANDCA5, the last two numbered consecutively.
• 198.55.62.0/24 is netname NUDAY-111, registered to Nuday Networks Inc.
• The sampled addresses split by brand: 198-55-62-64.static-ip.nuday.com on that block, and 207-176-223-64.static-ip.ravand.ca on the company's own.
• Both brands use the same reverse naming template, dashes and static-ip included.

Interesting

• Identical templates across two different domains is the tell that one operator generates both. A separate company would have arrived at a different format, because everyone does; matching to the dash means the same script wrote both zones.
• CA4 and CA5 in the netnames are country and sequence, which implies a CA1 through CA3 somewhere in the history of this network that no longer shows up in what it announces.
• 12 neighbours for 1,024 addresses is a network that peers considerably more than its address count would suggest, which is what regional providers do when transit is the expensive part.
