About this network

A single Ukrainian /24 with the company form written in front of the name.

What it's used for

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

Notable

• The registrant reads LLC Bi-Kent, with the company form leading rather than trailing.
• The block, 194.15.147.0/24, is netname BIKENT-NET, which drops the hyphen the company name keeps.
• An Abuse-C Role object is attached to the record.
• One prefix, one neighbour, no IPv6.

Interesting

• Putting the form first is how it is written in Ukrainian and Russian, where the abbreviation for a limited liability company precedes the name. The word order survived translation into an English-language registry field, which is a small piece of linguistic archaeology sitting in a database.
• The netname dropping the hyphen is the more ordinary kind of drift: netnames avoid punctuation by habit, so a hyphenated company name arrives at the registry looking slightly different from how it is written anywhere else.
• 194.15 is European registry space from the mid-nineties, so this /24 was carved out of a block issued long before the company that now holds it needed addresses. Small allocations from those ranges have usually passed through a provider or two on the way.
