AS14032 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 768 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

A netname that names the protocol, on a network that does announce the other one.

What it's used for

• A retailer's corporate network. 768 IPv4 addresses across two prefixes, one IPv6 prefix, and one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• 198.59.176.0/23 carries the netname FLCS-IPV4-01, stating the protocol and a counter.
• 198.207.241.0/24 carries FOOTLOCKER-EASTBAY, joining the parent brand to a chain it acquired.
• The IPv6 announcement is 2602:806:4002::/48, with no matching registry record in this inventory.
• Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Elsewhere in this range, netnames that announce the protocol belong to networks with no IPv6 at all, which makes them read as a plan that never happened. Here the plan did happen, and the record that anticipated it is the older half. Somebody numbered their allocations expecting a second protocol and eventually got one.
• The other netname is a brand archive: the acquiring company and the acquired chain in one string, filed under the parent's legal name. Retail groups accumulate these faster than they retire them.
• A single upstream for a corporate retail network is thinner than most peers in this range, though the customer-facing storefront of a chain this size sits with a delivery provider rather than here.
• Nothing published in reverse DNS keeps the corporate side of the business unmapped, which is the right choice for a network whose interesting hosts are all internal.
