AS13983 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 256 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The netname ends in the name of the protocol, which is the reason the block exists.

What it's used for

• A corporate network. 256 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The block is 67.159.198.0/24, netname ALE-SOLUTIONS-BGP, registered to ALE Solutions Inc.
• The AS handle is ALE-SOLUTIONS-INC.
• Routing was first seen in 2000.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Naming a block after the routing protocol says what the space is for rather than who owns it. This is the address range the company took specifically so it could announce its own routes, as distinct from whatever it uses inside, and somebody wanted that distinction recorded where the next person would see it.
• The handle and the netname differ by one word each, keeping the company name and swapping the suffix. Two fields written by the same hand, on different days, for different purposes.
• A /24 with one upstream is the smallest network that can hold its own AS number and still be routed globally. It buys portability, not capacity: the addresses stay the same when the provider changes.
