About this network

One /23 in Belgium, held by the logistics arm of a carmaker rather than the carmaker.

What it's used for

• Corporate networking for a vehicle importer and distributor. 512 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The entire inventory is 194.29.64.0/23.
• Its netname is BE-HONDAEUROPE-NET2, registered to Honda Motor Europe Logistics NV.
• The AS handle is simply Honda Europe.
• Three sampled addresses were queried and none returned a name.

Interesting

• The registered holder is the logistics company, not the manufacturer. Large groups register address space to whichever legal entity signed for it, and for a carmaker in Europe that is usually the import and distribution business, because that is the entity with warehouses, dealer connections and a European office to put on the form.
• NET2 in the netname implies a NET1 that this AS does not announce. Netnames are numbered by the organisation as it files each assignment, so the suffix is a footprint of paperwork rather than of routing: the first block exists in the registry whether or not it is in the routing table today.
• 512 addresses and two upstreams is the standard enterprise edge — enough for the public services a distribution business runs, with a second provider so the network survives losing the first. Everything else lives behind private addressing, invisible from outside.
