About this network

ecotel communication ag is a German telecoms provider selling connectivity and voice services to business customers.

What it's used for

• Business connectivity at scale: 505,856 IPv4 addresses across 28 announced prefixes, with 114 observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The address space is old and large. A /15, four separate /16s and a /17 sit at the top of the inventory, sizes that stopped being handed out long ago.
• Four IPv6 prefixes, including a 2001:4090::/31 and a 2a01:5c8::/32.
• Every block names the same registry contact, AS12312 Network Management — the AS number written into the contact handle itself, so the routing and the registry point at each other.

Interesting

• The netnames record an allocation history running from DE-ECOTEL-960605 in June 1996 through DE-ECOTEL-970106, DE-ECOTEL-970502, DE-ECOTEL-970805 and DE-ECOTEL-971021 in a single busy year, then DE-ECOTEL-981217, DE-ECOTEL-19991229, DE-ECOTEL-20001103 and on to DE-ECOTEL-20071010.
• That list also catches RIPE changing its own conventions mid-stream. The stamps use a two-digit year up to 981217 and a four-digit one from 19991229 onward, for the obvious reason. The switch was gradual rather than dated — other netnames in the registry use both forms through 1999 — but the stamps on either side of it are still in the routing table three decades later.
