AS12706 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 512 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

A bank on two /24s carved out of the same national block, 167 addresses apart.

What it's used for

• Corporate networking for a Ukrainian bank. 512 addresses in two IPv4 prefixes, three observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The two blocks are 194.44.66.0/24 and 194.44.233.0/24, both netname FUIB-NET.
• They sit in the same /16 but are not adjacent.
• The registrant field lists only an abuse contact role.
• Six sampled addresses were queried and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Two non-adjacent /24s from one 194.44 block is the signature of space handed out by a national provider rather than allocated directly. The bank asked twice, years apart, and got whatever was free each time, which is why the pieces cannot be aggregated into one announcement and never will be.
• Every bank in this stretch of the number range looks the same from outside: a few hundred addresses, a handful of upstreams, nothing resolving. The public surface of a financial institution is a website and a payment gateway, and everything that makes it a bank sits on private addressing that the routing table cannot see.
• Three upstreams for 512 addresses is an expensive arrangement by choice. Redundancy is bought per connection, and a bank buys more of it per address than almost anyone else here because the cost of being unreachable is measured in transactions rather than in traffic.
