AS13888 — BEARCREEK-AS

AS13888 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 512 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The AS is named for one company and both its blocks are registered to another, whose name begins with a phone number.

What it's used for

• A retailer's corporate network. 512 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The AS handle is BEARCREEK-AS; both blocks are registered to 800-FLOWERS, INC.
• The netnames are UU-63-118-87 and UU-65-241-160, an earlier carrier's prefix followed by the first three octets of each block.
• The two blocks sit in unrelated parts of the address space.
• One upstream carries both.
• Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A registrant name starting with digits breaks the assumption behind most alphabetical listings, and a company that chose its phone number as its brand inherits that everywhere its name is written down. The registry stores it exactly as given, so the sort order is whatever the software decides digits mean.
• Netnames carrying a carrier's initials survive the carrier. The prefix records who assigned the block, not who holds it, so the record keeps pointing at a company that has since been absorbed twice over while the address it names still routes.
• One upstream for a retailer's whole network means an outage there is an outage here.
