About this network

A regional Romanian provider with 24 neighbours, one block still held by the registry itself.

What it's used for

• An internet provider serving a Romanian region. 3,584 addresses across six IPv4 prefixes, one IPv6 prefix, and 24 observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The inventory is 89.44.160.0/22, 185.110.24.0/22, 89.44.164.0/23, 194.102.124.0/23, 188.241.51.0/24 and 193.230.197.0/24, plus 2a04:c180::/29.
• Netnames are dated RO-OLTENIA-20051129, 20090623 and 20150721.
• 194.102.124.0/23 carries the netname RIPE-NCC-MANAGED-ADDRESS-BLOCK.
• Two of eighteen sampled addresses returned names: tech11.oltenia.ro and netpass3.ecaterina.ro.

Interesting

• RIPE-NCC-MANAGED-ADDRESS-BLOCK is the registry's own placeholder, used for space it administers directly rather than space assigned to a member. Seeing one announced in ordinary traffic means the block reached a network by a route other than a normal allocation, and the record was never rewritten to say who ended up with it.
• One sampled address answers under an entirely unrelated domain. Small regional providers host their customers' machines on their own addresses, so the reverse zone becomes a partial list of who the customers are, which is far more than the routing table reveals.
• 2a04:c180::/29 is a very large IPv6 allocation next to 3,584 IPv4 addresses. The two protocols were rationed under opposite assumptions, and a provider that had to fight for every IPv4 /24 can receive more IPv6 space than it will ever assign.
