AS13779 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 512 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

One of two blocks is registered to a consulting firm, and the single address that answers is a mail server.

What it's used for

• A text analytics software company's network. 512 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• 199.88.205.0/24 is netname BASISTECH, registered to the company.
• 204.238.98.0/24 is netname MANN, registered to a consulting firm with no shared name.
• 199.88.205.190 answers as mailer.basistech.com, naming its function outright.
• Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and one returned a name.
• Two blocks, two registrants, and one AS holding both.

Interesting

• A block registered to a consultancy inside a software company's AS is either space the consultancy obtained on the client's behalf and never transferred, or a shared arrangement that outlived the engagement. Either way the record names a company that has no obvious connection to the one announcing it.
• A hostname that says mailer identifies the one machine most worth knowing about in a small block. It is the address that accepts connections from strangers by design, and the only one in the sample that advertises itself at all.
• Two /24s from different parts of the address space, each with its own registrant, is a network assembled rather than allocated.
