About this network

The company name includes its own top-level domain, and the registry copied it in.

What it's used for

• An internet provider's network. 8,192 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The block is 65.255.96.0/19, netname ECSIS-NET, registered to ECSIS.NET.
• The AS handle is ECSIS-HST.
• Routing was first seen in 2000.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A registrant field holding a domain name rather than a company name dates the record. Naming a business after its address was a period style, and the registry preserved the dot while the netname and handle both replaced it with a hyphen, because those fields never allowed one.
• Three fields, three spellings of the same name. Each system had its own character rules and nobody reconciled the results, which is why matching an organisation across registry fields is a string-similarity problem rather than a lookup.
• 8,192 addresses in one contiguous block behind a single upstream is a provider that got its space early and never had to go back for more. Networks assembled later show up as a scatter of small blocks from different sources.
