AS14058 — PCT-AS01 - PointClick Technologies, LLC

AS14058 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 512 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

An IPv6 allocation big enough for a national carrier, attached to one small IPv4 block.

What it's used for

• A hosting and connectivity provider's network. 512 IPv4 addresses in a single prefix, one IPv6 prefix, and one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The IPv6 announcement is 2602:fcf5::/36, an allocation orders of magnitude larger than everything else here.
• The whole IPv4 footprint is 206.83.154.0/23, carrying the netname POINTCLICK-NET-01.
• The netname is the company name with a network number, matching the AS handle's own counter.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• The size difference between the two protocols is the story of address policy in one record. IPv4 had to be justified address by address; IPv6 is handed out in blocks large enough that nobody expects them to be filled, so a provider of this size holds more IPv6 than the entire IPv4 internet contains.
• Counters in both the handle and the netname suggest a plan for further networks, of which none have appeared.
• One upstream means the whole footprint, including that enormous IPv6 block, reaches the world through a single relationship.
• Nothing published in reverse DNS on either protocol leaves the customer side of this provider invisible from outside.
