About this network

A Midwestern cable operator announcing two blocks registered to a Hong Kong holding company.

What it's used for

• A United States cable and telecom provider. 1,280 addresses across five /24 prefixes, four observed BGP neighbours, and the IPv6 block 2a12:f3c0::/29.

Notable

• Two blocks are netname HK-ELEVEN-20211018 and HK-ELEVEN-20251015, registered to a Hong Kong holding company with an Administrator role listed.
• Two blocks are netname MIDWEST, with the registrant written in title case on one and in capitals on the other.
• One block is netname NETUTILS, registered to a third company.
• Sampled names resolve under aceips.com, a domain belonging to none of the above.

Interesting

• The netnames carry a date in year-month-day form, and the second one is from within the last year. Registry labels rarely record when a record was made; these do it in the only field the registrant controls.
• Five /24s from unrelated ranges next to an IPv6 block sized for a regional registry member is a network that acquired its address space piece by piece and its IPv6 all at once.
• The same company name in two capitalisations on adjacent blocks means two forms were submitted at two different times, and nothing in the process compares them.
• A fourth party's domain answering for the addresses puts the reverse zone with whoever operates the equipment rather than whoever holds the registration.
