AS13559 — QUANTUM-INTERNET-SOL-CAN01

AS13559 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 512 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Three different company names across the AS handle, the address registration and the reverse DNS, plus two incompatible naming schemes inside one zone.

What it's used for

• A hosting provider's network. 512 addresses in one IPv4 prefix, 74.3.148.0/23, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The AS handle names one company, the block is netname WOLFPAW-DATA-CENTRES-INC registered to another, and the reverse names sit under abnorth.net, a third.
• All three sampled addresses answered, including 74.3.148.255.
• Two answers read 128.74.3.148.abnorth.net, the host octet first and then the network with dots.
• The third reads 126.74-3-149.abnorth.net, the host octet first and then the network with hyphens.

Interesting

• Three names for one network is two acquisitions or a rebrand that never finished. The AS object gets updated when someone renews it, the address object when someone files a transfer, and the reverse zone only when someone regenerates it, so each field records a different year.
• Putting the host octet in front and the rest of the address behind it is a rare ordering. It groups by network when sorted, unlike the usual full reversal, and it means whoever wrote the generator was solving for how the zone file reads rather than for convention.
• Two formats in one zone means the generator was rewritten and only run over part of the range. The hyphenated version is the newer style catching up.
