About this network

A reverse name that reports the wrong address, and four spellings of the word static.

What it's used for

• An Italian provider network. 98,816 addresses across 13 IPv4 prefixes, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The inventory leads with 62.123.128.0/17, 62.123.64.0/18 and 213.234.128.0/18.
• Netnames are all IT-RETELIT-X-, dated 20000215, 20000504, 20001110 and 20060928.
• Reverse names come from a third party's domain, btitalia.it, in four forms: static-62-123-160-0, stat.62-123-191-255, STATIC-62-123-80-0 and 62-123-95-255.STATIC.
• 62.123.223.254 answers as stat.62-123-103-254.btitalia.it.
• Thirteen of eighteen sampled addresses returned a name.

Interesting

• That last name is wrong. The address is 62.123.223.254, and the name it returns claims 62-123-103-254 — a different third octet. Reverse zones are generated, and a generator working from a stale or mistyped subnet list produces names that look authoritative and point at addresses that are not there. Nothing breaks, because almost nothing checks.
• Four different renderings of the same word, differing in case, punctuation and abbreviation, is four different scripts or four different eras writing into one namespace. Reverse DNS accumulates conventions the way an old codebase accumulates styles.
• 98,816 addresses reaching the internet through a single neighbour, under a domain belonging to another operator, is a network that has been absorbed. The AS handle, the registry holder and the DNS each name a different company.
