AS13329 announces 17 IPv4 prefixes covering 6,656 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Forty-two IPv6 announcements, one netname naming a protocol, and reverse names with the octets backwards.

What it's used for

• A United States regional fibre carrier. 6,656 addresses across seventeen IPv4 prefixes, forty-two IPv6 prefixes, and forty-three observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Netnames include KFNL, the full company name KANSAS-FIBER-NETWORK-LLC, KFN-MANAGEMENT and KFN-MPLS.
• 205.211.152.0/23 is netname HC-653, registered to a small local telephone company.
• Sampled names read 128-234-180-199.dsl.satelephone.com, with the octets in reverse order under a third company's domain.
• The IPv6 blocks under 2606:3900:: step /33, /35, /37, /39, /46, two /47s, three /46s, /44.

Interesting

• A netname that names a protocol rather than a customer is a label written for the operator's own benefit. Somebody set aside a block for the equipment carrying a particular kind of traffic and recorded that fact in a public database, which is more of an internal design note than a registration.
• Forty-three neighbours against under seven thousand addresses is a carrier's ratio, and the member telephone companies' own blocks announced alongside its own confirm it: this network exists to aggregate other people's networks.
• The reverse names put the last octet first, so reading them requires knowing the convention. One network in this range writes them forward, another reverses all four, and a third truncates. The address is recoverable either way and only by convention.
