AS13617 — SYNTAX-NC

AS13617 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 1,280 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Both netnames encode a company that no longer exists, one as an acronym and one as a five-letter truncation.

What it's used for

• A managed enterprise applications provider. 1,280 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, 74.123.36.0/22 and 8.42.204.0/24, three observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• 74.123.36.0/22 is netname FIT-USA, registered to the current company.
• 8.42.204.0/24 is netname LVLT-FREUD-1-8-42-204, also registered to the current company.
• That second string carries a carrier's initials, a truncated company name, a counter and the address.
• The AS handle ends in two letters that appear in neither netname.
• Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• The acronym in one netname and the truncation in the other are the same predecessor company, written by two different systems. Read together they identify an acquisition that the registrant field has already been updated to hide.
• A carrier's provisioning format is the more informative of the two, because it records who sold the space, which customer it went to at the time, and which allocation it came from, none of which the current registrant tells you.
• Three upstreams for 1,280 addresses is a provider that runs other companies' business systems. Availability is the product, and paths cost less than the alternative.
