AS13955 — ECHO-UPLINKDATA-COM

Network type: hosting

AS13955 announces 3 IPv4 prefixes covering 768 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The AS handle carries a domain name, and that domain is what the addresses answer to.

What it's used for

• A satellite broadcaster's uplink network. 768 addresses across three IPv4 prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The AS handle is ECHO-UPLINKDATA-COM, and the reverse names sit under a domain matching its tail.
• The names that answered are callback.uplinkdata.com, echo127.uplinkdata.com and echo190.uplinkdata.com, the last two numbered by their own final octet.
• One block is netname 8-19-78-0-24, registered to Dish Network Corporation.
• Another is ZAYO-IPYX-065952-64-125-135-0-24, registered to EchoStar Broadcasting.
• The third block's registry lookup failed and says nothing either way.

Interesting

• Putting a domain in the AS handle, dot replaced by a hyphen, is a network telling you where to look next. It survives every rebrand that leaves the domain alone, which in practice is most of them.
• One name in the sample is a service rather than a machine. A host called callback is the endpoint equipment dials home to, which for satellite receivers is how a one-way broadcast network gets a return path.
• The Zayo netname stacks a carrier, a product code, a customer number and the block itself into one string, so the assignment can be traced through the carrier's systems without a lookup.
