AS12450 — TRANSCOR-AS

AS12450 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 1,024 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

One IPv4 /22 and an IPv6 allocation big enough for a national carrier.

What it's used for

• Connectivity and hosting. 1,024 addresses in a single /22, one IPv6 /29, and a single observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The one IPv4 block, 185.162.132.0/22, is netname MD-AGENTIA-TRANSCOR-20160809.
• The IPv6 allocation is 2a0f:c900::/29.
• Reverse DNS names each address by its last two octets: host-133-0.transcor.md, host-133-255.transcor.md, host-134-254.transcor.md. Three of three sampled answered.

Interesting

• The two address families are wildly out of proportion, and that is policy rather than ambition. A European registry hands every member the same IPv6 /29 regardless of size, while IPv4 has to be bought a /22 at a time. The same company that scraped together 1,024 IPv4 addresses holds enough IPv6 to number every device in the country several times over.
• Naming hosts by the last two octets is the compromise between a template and a real name. It is short enough to read in a log line and specific enough to identify the machine, which is more than most generated reverse zones manage.
