About this network

Transkom is a German network operator based in Kaiserslautern, in Rhineland-Palatinate.

What it's used for

• Internet access including wireless service. A sampled address answers as wlan1017.kaiserslautern.transkom.net, naming both the access medium and the city.

Notable

• One prefix and nothing else: 212.28.32.0/19, 8,192 addresses, with a single observed BGP neighbour.
• The netname is DE-TRANSKOM-990222, dating the assignment to the 22nd of February 1999.
• No IPv6 announced.

Interesting

• Numbering wireless access points sequentially in reverse DNS — wlan1017 — turns the DNS into an equipment register, and the four-digit number suggests a deployment far larger than 8,192 addresses would support one-to-one. Wireless subscribers share address space through NAT, so the count of access points and the count of public addresses stopped tracking each other a long time ago.
