AS13878 — Scala Data Centers

AS13878 announces 35 IPv4 prefixes covering 185,856 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Fifteen of eighteen addresses answer with the reverse-lookup name of the address itself.

What it's used for

• A data centre operator. 185,856 addresses across 59 IPv4 prefixes, five IPv6 blocks, and eight observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• 201.84.64.0 answers 0.64.84.201.in-addr.arpa, which is the name the query was made against.
• Fourteen more addresses answer the same way, across five separate ranges.
• Netnames are bare numbers with no letters at all: 480586, 93436, 50161, 10438, 31360.
• One block belongs to a company whose registered name contains a dot, in the style of a domain.
• The largest announcement is a /16; the IPv6 blocks run from /36 up to /33.

Interesting

• A record answering with the query name maps the address onto itself. Nothing breaks loudly: the lookup succeeds, so software that checks whether a name exists is satisfied, and software that expects a hostname gets a string that looks like one until it is parsed. Across five ranges it is a generator doing what it was told rather than a mistake on one record.
• Numeric netnames are a regional registry's own identifiers rather than names anybody chose. They make the record unambiguous to the registry and unreadable to everyone else, which is the opposite of the trade the other registries make.
