AS13293 — PIONIER-AS-COM PIONIER

AS13293 announces 5 IPv4 prefixes covering 1,280 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The -COM in the handle marks the commercial side of a national research network.

What it's used for

• The commercial-traffic autonomous system of the Polish national research and education network. 1,280 addresses across five IPv4 prefixes, one IPv6 prefix 2001:b10:e000::/35, and twenty-two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The holder is an academy institute together with a supercomputing and networking centre.
• Two blocks carry the netname Pionier in mixed case, unusual where nearly every netname is upper case.
• Three blocks are PL-LODMAN-981028, a six-digit date from 1998, registered to a university of technology.
• A sampled address answered z-Bialystok-COM.poznan-gw5.zim.rtr.pionier.gov.pl.

Interesting

• Research networks usually run two autonomous systems: one for traffic between institutions and one for everything commercial. The -COM suffix says which of the two this is, and the small address count fits a network that exists to reach the rest of the internet rather than to hold hosts.
• That single reverse name carries more than most whole zones. It identifies two cities, a numbered gateway, a router role and the commercial side of the network, all in one label, and it sits under a government domain.
• A metropolitan academic network's 1998 label survives on three of five blocks, so the space predates the autonomous system announcing it by years.
