About this network

Two blocks eight years apart, under a handle that means "search".

What it's used for

• A Russian internet provider. 3,072 addresses in two IPv4 prefixes, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The inventory is 93.188.16.0/21 and 185.141.92.0/22.
• Netnames are RU-TELECOM-2-20080408 and RU-TELECOM-2-20160302, both registered to Telecom-2 LLC.
• The AS handle is POISK.
• First observed in the routing archive at the earliest date the archive holds.
• Six addresses were sampled and none returned a name.

Interesting

• The AS handle and the registered holder share no letters. POISK is the Russian word for search, and it is almost certainly the brand or the earlier company; TELECOM-2 is the legal entity that holds the addresses today. Both are correct, and neither alone would let you find the other.
• The two netnames are eight years apart and follow the same template exactly, down to the hyphenated -2. When one organisation files its own records over a long period, the format is usually consistent; inconsistency in a holder's netnames is the sign of blocks arriving from elsewhere.
• A single neighbour and no IPv6 on a network first visible at the start of the routing archive describes a provider that reached a working size and stayed there. Not every network in the table is trying to grow.
