About this network

A virtual machine template answers in public DNS, and the registrant field ends with a stray word.

What it's used for

• A college's network. 2,048 addresses in one IPv4 prefix, 199.202.104.0/21, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The block is netname CSF2, registrant Cegep de Sainte-Foy; domaines.
• The netname is numbered two, so a first object exists somewhere that is not announced here.
• One of three sampled addresses answered, as vmtemplate.csfoy.ca.

Interesting

• A name reading as a virtual machine template is not a service anyone should be reaching. It is the golden image a hypervisor clones to make new machines, and it has been given a routable address and a public name. Whatever it was for, the record outlived the reason.
• A registrant with a semicolon and a trailing word is two fields that got joined. Somebody's form concatenated the organisation with the department that handles its domains, and the registry stored the result as one string.
• One upstream for a college is normal in a country where education networks aggregate regionally. The institution does not buy transit; it connects to the shared research network and inherits everything beyond it.
