About this network

The netname is the organisation's full name with three hyphens in a row where a dash used to be.

What it's used for

• A Texas regional education service centre, providing network service to school districts. 7,424 addresses across five IPv4 prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• All five blocks carry the same netname, REGION-18-EDUCATION-SERVICE-CENTER---TEXAS.
• The three consecutive hyphens sit where a space, a dash and a space were in the original name.
• Fifteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Registry identifiers allow letters, digits and hyphens, so a name containing a dash surrounded by spaces becomes three hyphens when every disallowed character is replaced one for one. The substitution was mechanical, and it preserved the punctuation of the original in a form nothing else uses.
• Spelling the entire name out rather than abbreviating produces a label at the far end of what the field will hold. Most organisations pick initials; this one kept everything, which makes the record searchable by name and unreadable at a glance.
• Regional service centres exist so that small school districts can share what none of them could afford alone. The five prefixes here are one organisation's allocation, subdivided among the districts it serves rather than among its own sites.
