About this network

A Russian technical college in the Urals with one block of its own address space.

What it's used for

• Campus connectivity. 256 addresses in one /24 with a single observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The prefix is 91.213.87.0/24, from the range RIPE reserves for provider-independent assignments to end users.
• The netname is rsvpu, in lower case, and does not match the registrant's name. Netnames are conventionally upper case and conventionally describe the holder; this one does neither.
• One neighbour, so a single provider carries the college's traffic.

Interesting

• The mismatch between netname and holder is worth reading rather than dismissing. A netname is filled in once, by whoever prepared the request, and it often records the institution that actually did the work — a partner university's network office, a regional education authority, a person's employer. The registrant field was later corrected; the netname was not, because nothing depends on it.
• Provider-independent space for a single college is unusual anywhere and more so here. Whoever arranged it wanted addresses that would not change if the college changed providers, and was willing to fill in a RIPE assignment request for a network of 256 addresses to get them.
