AS12732 — GUTCON-NET GutCon GmbH

AS12732 announces 4 IPv4 prefixes covering 1,792 addresses and 7 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Twenty-three IPv6 prefixes against four IPv4 ones, and a hostname that names the firewall model.

What it's used for

• Carrier and hosting services in Germany. 1,792 addresses in four IPv4 prefixes, 23 IPv6 prefixes, and 124 observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The IPv6 announcements out of 2001:bf0 form a doubling ladder: two /48s, then a /47, /46, /45, /44 and /43, under a /42.
• The four IPv4 blocks belong to four different holders: SDV Server-Services, GutCon itself, D-hosting die Rackspace & Connectivity GmbH under DE-BBTT-980716, and MAGHAN-NET-2.
• Six sampled addresses answered, under two domains: all.de and mind.de.
• The names include ae10.dh5148a.ak.all.de, srx345.hh.all.de, isp-res-net.mind.de and boerde-tunnel4.mind.de.

Interesting

• 1,792 IPv4 addresses and 23 IPv6 prefixes is the ratio the protocol was meant to produce, and almost nobody has it. The operator ran out of one and stopped trying, then took as much of the other as it needed, and the routing table shows a network whose future and past are visible side by side.
• srx345 names a specific firewall product line in public DNS, and ae10 is an aggregated Ethernet bundle. Interface names of this kind are written for the engineers who maintain the box, and they tell anyone else what hardware sits at that address before a single packet is sent at it.
• Four blocks, four holders, one announcer. A carrier with 124 neighbours and almost no address space of its own is selling routing rather than addresses, which is the purest form of the transit business.
