About this network

One /19, one IPv6 /32, and a maintainer-object suffix that escaped into the AS name.

What it's used for

• Interconnect and hosting services in Switzerland. 8,192 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, one IPv6 prefix, and two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The whole IPv4 inventory is 212.80.96.0/19, netname CH-SOFTEC-19991028.
• The IPv6 announcement is 2a01:7480::/32.
• The AS handle reads SOFTEC-MNT Interconnect Services.
• Three sampled addresses were queried and none returned a name.

Interesting

• -MNT is the suffix the registry uses for maintainer objects, the records that say who is allowed to change other records. It is a database artefact, not a company name, and its appearance in the AS handle means somebody copied the wrong identifier into the field. Every routing tool in the world now labels this network with the name of a permissions object.
• The netname date, 28 October 1999, is shared exactly with a block registered to a bank in Turkey elsewhere in this range. A repeated date across unrelated holders in different countries is a registry batch day: applications were processed together and every record created that day carries the same stamp.
• A single /19 announced whole, with no deaggregation at all, is unusual enough to notice. Most networks this size have been split by growth, acquisition or traffic engineering into several announcements; this one has stayed exactly as it was allocated for twenty-five years.
