About this network

One cooperative's name is spelled five different ways across its own address blocks.

What it's used for

• A rural telephone cooperative in Iowa. 5,120 addresses across eleven IPv4 prefixes, four observed BGP neighbours, and the IPv6 block 2604:5ec0::/32.

Notable

• Registrants read Panora Cooperative Telephone Association, then Panora Cooperative Telephone Assoc., Inc, then Panora Cooperative Telephone Assoc., INC, then Panora Coop Tele Assn INC, then Panora Telco.
• Three blocks are registered to a second cooperative, and one to a statewide network services company.
• Most netnames follow NET-INS- plus the prefix; the exceptions are PANR-INT-9208, PANR-FIBER-V4-1 and AUREON-BLK3.
• Sampled names include panr-15-67-55-249-255.dsl.netins.net, panr-22-ftth-208-126-228-128.dsl.netins.net and menl-01-209-152-106-255.wireless.netins.net.

Interesting

• Five spellings of one name is one registration per era, each typed by hand into a form by whoever was doing the paperwork that year. Nothing in the process compares a new record against the old ones, so the abbreviations, the punctuation and the capitalisation all drift.
• The reverse names carry the access technology, and the fibre-to-the-home ones sit under a domain named for digital subscriber line. The zone outlived the technology it was named after.
• Every name resolves under a statewide aggregator's domain, which is how small cooperatives reach the rest of the internet: shared transit, shared registry work, shared DNS.
