AS12686 announces 4 IPv4 prefixes covering 1,280 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

A bank's network, small and unremarkable, under a holder name that no longer matches its own records.

What it's used for

• Corporate networking for a Russian bank. 1,280 addresses in four IPv4 prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• All four blocks are registered to "TBANK" JSC, quotation marks included.
• Three carry the netname ROSBANK and one Rosbank.
• The technical contact on two of them is NET TEAM ROSBANK.
• Twelve sampled addresses were queried and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Bank networks are small on purpose. A retail bank runs branches, card processing and a website, and every one of those sits behind a handful of externally reachable addresses while the rest of the estate hides on private ranges. Four prefixes and two upstreams is what a large financial institution looks like from the outside, and the size says nothing at all about the size of the business.
• The holder field says one name and every other field says another, which is what a merger looks like in the registry. Ownership records get updated because they are legally binding; netnames and contact handles get updated when somebody has time, so the old brand survives in the parts nobody is required to maintain.
• The literal quotation marks around the company name are a translation artefact. Russian corporate naming puts the trading name in quotes, and the registry stores the string exactly as filed, punctuation and all.
