About this network

The network of Leon County, Florida, whose seat is Tallahassee, the state capital.

What it's used for

• County government systems. 2,304 addresses over six prefixes with three observed BGP neighbours — a single end site, multihomed for resilience rather than for transit.

Notable

• Four different netname stems cover six prefixes: NETBLK-LEONMIS, NETBLK-LEON-NET-FL, NETBLK-LEON-NET-FL2 and NETBLK-LEON-C, the last one carrying three blocks.
• All six prefixes come out of 198.0.0.0/8 — 198.180, 198.183, 198.202 and three adjacent blocks in 198.252.
• One IPv6 announcement, 2602:80c:3000::/40, which is 2^88 addresses for a county of around three hundred thousand people.

Interesting

• The registry has the county's name spelled "Commisioners", with one s. Whoever typed it typed it once, decades ago, and it has been the county's legal identity in the address registry ever since. Registry records are edited far less often than anything else an organisation publishes about itself.
• LEONMIS is the oldest-looking of the stems, and MIS — Management Information Systems — is what county IT departments were called before they were called IT departments. The department has almost certainly been renamed since; the netname has not.
• Tallahassee is a government town twice over: county offices, the state capitol and the legislature, plus Florida State and Florida A&M. A county running a /40 of IPv6 and its own AS is less surprising in that setting than the population figure alone suggests.
