About this network

The network of an electronic security and alarm monitoring business.

What it's used for

• Monitoring and corporate connectivity. 512 addresses in two /24s with a single observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The two blocks, 161.36.112.0/24 and 161.36.119.0/24, share the netname SES-417 and are registered to the company directly.
• They are not adjacent. Six /24s of 161.36 sit between them, and this AS announces none of them.
• The AS handle reads SECURITAS ELECTRONIC SECURITY - SUPREME. The trailing word matches neither the company name nor the netname, and nothing else in the record explains it.

Interesting

• Alarm monitoring is one of the few businesses where the network is the product. A monitoring centre has to keep receiving signals from panels at customer sites continuously, and the addresses those panels are configured to reach have to stay the same across every change of carrier, which is exactly the problem provider-independent space and your own AS number were invented to solve.
• Two non-adjacent /24s out of a shared /16 is what an assignment looked like before CIDR hygiene got strict. You asked, you got the next free one, and years later the pattern is a record of who asked when.
