About this network

A /24 whose netname is not a name at all, but a registry object identifier.

What it's used for

• A small Serbian business network. 256 addresses in one IPv4 prefix, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The whole inventory is 193.53.106.0/24, registered to UMKA d.o.o.
• The netname field reads ORG-UA405-RIPE.
• The AS handle is KAPPATECH-AS; the holder is UMKA d.o.o.
• First observed in the routing archive in February 2012.
• Three addresses were sampled and none returned a name.

Interesting

• ORG-UA405-RIPE is an organisation handle: an identifier the registry generates when an organisation record is created, of the form ORG- plus initials plus a sequence number. It belongs in the field that links a block to its owner, not in the field that names the block. Somebody filling the form pasted the handle into the wrong box, and it has been the network's public name ever since.
• The AS is named for one company and held by another, with no dated netname to show when the handover happened. Small allocations change hands quietly; the AS number and the netname often keep pointing at whoever set things up first.
• Two neighbours and a single /24 registered in the 193 range, which is old European space, suggests a block that predates its current holder. New assignments of that size come from more recently released ranges.
