AS12714 — MEGAFON-AS Moscow, Russia

AS12714 announces 213 IPv4 prefixes covering 1,153,280 addresses and 2 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

1.18 million addresses in 330 announcements, and a netname carrying a date with a digit too many.

What it's used for

• Mobile and fixed access for a Russian national operator. 1,184,768 addresses in 330 IPv4 prefixes, two IPv6 prefixes, and 15 observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The largest single announcement is 176.194.0.0/15, 131,072 addresses.
• Dated netnames run RU-MEGAFON-20060216, 20080818, 20100708, 20101118 and 20110705.
• One reads RU-MEGAFON-201204102, nine digits where the others use eight.
• Two acquired broadband operators show up as TI-BB and NBN-NET, and two blocks are registered to Net By Net Holding LLC under RU-TI-BB-20160221.
• The IPv6 announcements are two /32s: 2a00:d18::/32 and 2a00:16d0::/32.

Interesting

• That nine-digit netname is a typing slip preserved in the public record. Nothing validates the field, nothing depends on it parsing, and so an extra keystroke from whoever filed the block in April 2012 has been served to the world ever since. Every convention that relies on humans formatting a free-text field accumulates these.
• Fifteen neighbours for 1.18 million addresses is one of the most lopsided ratios here, and it is the mobile operator's shape exactly. Subscribers consume, and the network needs a handful of large transit relationships rather than many small ones.
• Two IPv6 /32s against 330 IPv4 prefixes tells the rest of the story. The v4 estate was assembled from hundreds of separate purchases and allocations over twenty years; the v6 estate was requested twice, in the right size, and needs nothing further.
