AS13465 — -Reserved AS-

AS13465 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 256 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

A single /24 named SHEC-4, which implies three earlier blocks that are not here.

What it's used for

• A rural electric cooperative's network. 256 addresses in one IPv4 prefix, 68.67.117.0/24, three observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The block is netname SHEC-4, registered to the cooperative under its full name.
• The AS handle recorded in inventory reads -Reserved AS- while the registry names a holder.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A trailing 4 in a netname is a sequence number the registry assigns when an organisation already has records with that name. Three earlier ones exist somewhere in the registry; none of them are announced from here, so they were returned, are used privately, or route through somebody else.
• Three upstreams behind one /24 is more redundancy than the size suggests, and it fits the customer. An electric utility's outage management and metering systems have to stay reachable when the weather that took the power out is still happening.
• The placeholder handle against a named holder means the inventory dataset lags the registry rather than the number being genuinely unassigned. Reading the two together is how you tell those apart.
