About this network

Three company names across two blocks, and the reverse names belong to a fourth.

What it's used for

• A fibre internet provider's network. 2,048 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• 50.121.240.0/22 is netname OTT-COMMUNICATIONS-GONETSPEED-01, joining a former brand to the current one.
• 66.252.40.0/22 is netname GONETSPEED-WV-01, registered to a telephone company whose record spells out that it trades as the current brand.
• Sampled names read 0.41.252.66.static.midmaine.com, under a fourth company's domain.
• The AS handle carries a state abbreviation that matches neither the registrant's location nor the reverse domain's.

Interesting

• Those reverse names write the address backwards, in the order the reverse lookup itself uses, then glue a domain on the end. A resolver queries the octets in that reversed order, and the provider's generator kept them that way rather than flipping them back.
• A registrant field containing d/b/a is a small legal document. A rural telephone company kept its original name in the registry and put the trading name in brackets, which is how a local carrier rolled into a regional brand stays identifiable.
• Four names for one provider across two blocks is the acquisition trail written into the records.
