AS13530 announces 9 IPv4 prefixes covering 6,400 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Eleven blocks scattered through one /16, every one of them netname DNSNETWORK.

What it's used for

• A vehicle parts manufacturer's network. 6,400 addresses across eleven IPv4 prefixes, five observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• Ten blocks are netname DNSNETWORK, registered to the company under its current name.
• All eleven sit inside 162.74, at sizes from a /21 down to /24s, with gaps between them.
• One prefix's registry lookup failed, so nothing is known about its registration here.
• The AS handle names the company's former holding structure rather than the current entity.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A netname reading DNSNETWORK on space where not one sampled address answers is a good joke the registry is not in on. The letters are almost certainly the company's initials plus a word, but the field reads as a promise the zone files do not keep.
• Announcing eleven pieces of one /16 with gaps between them means the rest of that space is in use somewhere that does not need announcing. A manufacturer with plants in many countries routes most traffic privately and shows only the parts that face outward.
• The handle preserving a holding company that has since been renamed is the usual pattern: the registrant gets corrected when someone audits it, the handle never does.
