About this network

A corporate tagline lives inside the registrant field, on all six blocks.

What it's used for

• The network of a French hosting and managed services company. 27,392 addresses across six IPv4 prefixes, one IPv6 prefix 2a04:1940::/29, and fifty observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Every block lists the registrant as Alter Way, a Smile Group Company, Network Team.
• All six netnames use a third brand: FR-NEXEN-20000517, FR-NEXEN-20001204, FR-NEXEN-20100622, FR-NEXEN-20130318 and FR-NEXEN-20150826.
• Two separate prefixes, a /23 and a /24, share the netname date 20100622.
• The IPv6 announcement is a /29, a far larger share of that address space than the IPv4 footprint.

Interesting

• The registrant field is meant to answer "who holds this". Here it answers that, plus who owns them, plus which department to ask, in one comma-separated string. Marketing copy reaching a routing registry is how ownership changes get recorded when nobody wants to lose the old name.
• The netname brand spans dates from 2000 to 2015, so the label survived at least one rename and kept being applied to new allocations long after the company answering the phone had changed.
• Two prefixes carrying the same date came from one allocation event that could not be expressed as a single block, which is why they are announced separately but labelled identically.
• Fifty neighbours against twenty-seven thousand addresses puts real transit alongside the hosting.
