About this network

A /19 and a full IPv6 /32, both registered to a named individual rather than a company.

What it's used for

• A German network operator. 8,192 addresses in one IPv4 prefix, one IPv6 prefix, and two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The blocks are 213.185.128.0/19, netname DE-GENIAS-20000209, and 2a01:7ea0::/32.
• The registrant is a person's name, not an organisation.
• Three addresses were sampled and none answered.

Interesting

• An IPv6 /32 is the standard allocation to a registry member, so this is a full membership held in an individual's name. That happens where the business is a sole trader, or where a company was formed after the records were made and nobody went back to change them. Either way the registry records a person, and everything routed from here traces to that name.
• The /19 is announced intact rather than split, so the address space is still being used as one network by whoever runs it.
• Two neighbours against 8,192 addresses is a small provider buying transit. The IPv6 /32 is worth more attention than the IPv4 here: it is the piece that cannot be quietly traded away, so it marks the membership itself rather than a block that happens to be held.
• The netname's date is written in eight digits in February 2000, at the same time other German holders were still using six. Both conventions were live at once.
