AS14001 — MICROADVANTAGE-INC

AS14001 announces 5 IPv4 prefixes covering 8,704 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Five addresses in three different blocks all answer with one hostname, and every block shares a single netname.

What it's used for

• A regional provider's network. 13,312 addresses across six IPv4 prefixes, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced. First seen in 2000.

Notable

• All six blocks come from 207.170, and every one carries the netname MULTIVERSE-CIDR, registered to Micro Advantage, Inc.
• Nine of eighteen sampled addresses returned a name. Five of them, spread across three separate blocks, all answer open.visn.net.
• The rest are mail.industrialsurface.com and three of the form 207-170-188-128.hostingfrsh.com.
• The AS handle is MICROADVANTAGE-INC, the registrant is Micro Advantage, Inc, and the AS name is Vision Net Ltd.

Interesting

• One hostname on five addresses in three blocks is a catch-all reverse record covering wide swathes of the estate. The label open reads like a description of what those addresses are: unassigned, available, not yet anybody's.
• Three names for one organisation is a company that changed identity twice without changing its paperwork. The registry keeps the oldest name, the AS record keeps the newest, and the handle keeps the one in between.
• A single netname across every block is the opposite of the usual pattern, where each allocation gets its own label. This operator filed everything under one heading and never revisited it.
• A customer's mail server and a hosting brand answering from the same estate show a provider selling connectivity and servers out of one pool of addresses.
