About this network

Three /24s, three unrelated registrants, and one netname that is just the word NEW.

What it's used for

• An Italian network operator. 768 addresses across three IPv4 prefixes, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• Each /24 has a different netname and a different registrant: IT-NSOFT-20000623, Telemar-Wireless-PPPoE, and NEW.
• Six of nine sampled addresses returned names in two forms: ip.89.189.55.64.axera.it and 185.208.138.64.customer.newcomm.it.
• The block whose netname is NEW is the one answering under a domain beginning with the same word.

Interesting

• Both reverse forms write the address with dots rather than hyphens, so each octet becomes its own label in the name. The name is longer, the zone is deeper, and the result looks like an address with a domain glued on. It resolves fine and nobody who reads it will parse it as anything else, which is the whole benefit on offer.
• NEW as a netname is the least informative label possible, and it was almost certainly meant as a placeholder. The matching domain suggests it is actually an abbreviation, which is worse: a label that reads as a placeholder but is not.
• One netname names an access technology and a wireless product rather than the holder. Three blocks, three completely different ideas of what the field is for.
