About this network

A craft products company holding the first /24 of an old range, registered under a counter that reached twenty-three.

What it's used for

• A craft and hobby products company's network. 256 addresses in one IPv4 prefix, 205.237.0.0/24, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The block is netname PCN-23-NET, three initials, a number, and the word for the record type.
• The prefix sits at the very start of its range, the first /24 in it.
• First seen in the routing archive on 2002-12-18, an actual date rather than the archive's start.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A number in the middle of a netname rather than at the end is the registry disambiguating a three-letter abbreviation that twenty-two other organisations had already claimed. Short initials are a scarce resource in a shared namespace.
• Being the first block in its range means this registration was near the front of the queue when that range opened, which for a company selling die-cutting machines and scrapbooking supplies is a reminder that early internet address space went to whoever asked.
• Two upstreams and one /24 with nothing in the reverse zone is a corporate edge that has been left alone. The consumer side of this business runs on retail and on software, neither of which needs addresses here.
