About this network

Nine reverse names across five different domains, one of them still spelled in capitals.

What it's used for

• A German regional internet provider. 12,032 addresses across seven IPv4 prefixes, three IPv6 prefixes, and 118 observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Netnames span four holders: DE-INTERSAAR-20000112 and two 2015 blocks, DE-HG-20150615 for an IT services firm, SAARNET for a registered association, and HANDSHAKE-DE for another.
• The registry lookup for 192.109.53.0/24 failed, so nothing here describes that block's record.
• Nine of eighteen sampled addresses returned names across five domains, including ip-213-135-8-0.intersaar.de, dial-213-135-23-254.digitalab.de, hg-dmz2.hgcloud.de, subnet-4.saar.de and pluto.dialin.Saar.DE.

Interesting

• Two of the netnames belong to e.V. associations, the German legal form for a non-profit club. Regional internet in Germany grew partly out of hobbyist associations that registered their own address space in the 1990s, and when those groups faded their blocks were absorbed by whichever local provider was still standing. The associations remain the registered holders.
• pluto.dialin.Saar.DE is the oldest thing in the record. Uppercase domain names were normal when DNS was young, dial-up access is thirty years gone, and naming machines after planets was the house style of an entire era of system administration. It still answers.
• Even the provider's own blocks use two incompatible reverse formats, ip-213-135-8-0 and 213-135-15-255. The two run on the same /19.
• 118 neighbours from a provider serving one German region, which is what a dense national exchange fabric does to peering counts.
