About this network

The name says Egypt and every announced block is in the United States.

What it's used for

• A rural United States telephone and internet company. 18,432 addresses across six IPv4 prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• Netnames run in three formats: EGY-NB3 and ETCA-NB1, the carrier-assigned UU-65-214-64-D1, and NET-216-138-48-0-1 on two blocks.
• That last netname is a registry object identifier naming a /21 that is announced separately.
• Sampled names read ip-216-158-119-255.egyptian.net, and only two of eighteen addresses answered.

Interesting

• The company is named for a region rather than a country. Parts of the American midwest were given classical place names by settlers, and the businesses founded there inherited them, which is why a telephone company in the middle of the United States carries the name of a country on another continent.
• One netname is the registry's own identifier for a larger block, reused as the label on two /22s cut out of it. The parent /21 is announced as its own route, so the same address space is described three times in three ways.
• Two of eighteen addresses answering, in a network of eighteen thousand, is a provider that names its own equipment and leaves customer space blank.
