AS13846 — LAVALIFE

AS13846 announces 3 IPv4 prefixes covering 1,280 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Three contiguous blocks, one netname, one upstream, and a brand that outlived the company that built it.

What it's used for

• An online dating service's network. 1,280 addresses across three IPv4 prefixes, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• All three prefixes begin 208.68.20, pieces of one parent range announced separately.
• The two /23s are not adjacent: 208.68.202.0 and 208.68.204.0 leave a gap between them.
• All three are netname LAVALIFE-CORP, registered to the same company.
• One upstream carries everything.
• Nine addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Announcing three pieces of one range separately, to a single upstream, achieves nothing the parent announcement would not. The gap between the two larger pieces says the missing block went somewhere else, and whoever held it announced it from their own AS.
• A consumer service with nothing answering a reverse lookup anywhere in its space has moved the public-facing side onto hosting somebody else runs. What is left in the AS is the corporate remainder, which is what happens to brands after the company behind them is bought.
• One neighbour makes the routing a formality: the space is held, not defended.
