About this network

A full /16 behind one neighbour, with a handle that is just a city name.

What it's used for

• The network of a Swedish industrial manufacturer. 65,536 addresses in one IPv4 prefix, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The AS handle is recorded as Gothenburg.
• The entire inventory is 163.157.0.0/16, netname SKFNET.
• The registry lookup returned the netname but no registrant name.
• Three addresses were sampled and none returned a name.

Interesting

• The handle is a city and nothing more, the same collapse seen elsewhere in this range where a postal address replaced the name. Here it has gone one step further: not a street, not a company, just a place. As an identifier it is close to useless, and it has survived twenty-five years because nothing depends on it.
• A whole /16 announced through a single neighbour, with no name published for any address, is a corporate network that treats its allocation as private space that happens to be routable. The address count says nothing about how much of it is used.
• A missing registrant name on an actively announced /16 is a gap in the public record rather than in the network. Legacy allocations from before the current registration rules often carry incomplete objects, and there is no process that forces them to be filled in.
