About this network

A Ukrainian fibre provider whose abuse contact is a named person rather than a role.

What it's used for

• Internet access. 1,024 addresses in a single /22 with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The block, 193.150.56.0/22, is netname OPTOCOM, registered to Optocom Ltd.
• The abuse contact on the record is a person by name, Anatoliy Titar, where most blocks in this range list a role object instead.
• The holder field reads Optocom Optocom Ltd, repeating the name.
• Two upstreams for a single /22.

Interesting

• A named individual as the abuse contact is the older convention, and it survives at small providers because at a small provider it is also the accurate one. The role object exists so the contact keeps working when staff change; when the staff is one person, the two are the same thing.
• The name is the company's product statement: optical communications, from an era when fibre was the differentiator worth putting on the letterhead rather than the assumed default.
• Two neighbours on 1,024 addresses is a regional ISP that has bought a second path, which in Ukraine has been less a theoretical resilience exercise than an operational one.
