About this network

A hosting company's single /24, registered to nobody in particular.

What it's used for

• A hosting company's network. 256 addresses in one IPv4 prefix, 170.205.17.0/24, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The block is netname RS-170-205-17, the company's initials followed by three octets of its own address.
• The registrant is Private Customer rather than a named organisation.
• The AS handle is RS1306, the same initials with a four digit number.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Private Customer is a registry placeholder used when the address holder does not want to be named. The name is still discoverable through the autonomous system's own record, so the privacy is partial: it hides the block from anyone searching the address, not from anyone reading the routing.
• Initials plus the address is a netname that repeats what the record already says. It carries no information, and that is the point when the alternative is disclosing something.
• One /24, one upstream, no IPv6. A hosting company at this size is reselling capacity rather than running infrastructure, and the address block is the part of the business that has to be its own.
