About this network

A netname dated March 2000, before the routing archive itself begins.

What it's used for

• The network of a German IT company in Leipzig. 1,280 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The AS handle is QITEC Leipzig, Germany, carrying a city and a country as free text.
• 213.179.64.0/22 is netname DE-QITEC-20000330, registered to the company, a lowercase role object qitec, and an abuse role.
• The registry lookup for the second prefix failed, so nothing is known about its registration here.

Interesting

• The netname encodes 30 March 2000. The archive's earliest possible observation is 18 August 2000, so this allocation was already registered before the record-keeping that would have caught it starting to route. Any first-seen date on a network this old is a floor rather than a birthday.
• The handle answers a question the field was not asking. A location belongs in an address object, and it ended up in the name because a form put the two lines next to each other. Several networks in this range carry the same kind of overflow, some of them with the full street address.
• A role object written in lowercase alongside two properly capitalised entries is the sort of detail that survives untouched for decades, because nothing depends on it.
