AS14065 announces 8 IPv4 prefixes covering 18,432 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The AS handle contains its own AS number, and every reverse name pads each octet to three figures so the labels sort correctly as text.

What it's used for

• A cable operator's regional network. 18,432 addresses across eight IPv4 prefixes, with a single observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The handle is TWC-14065-COUDERSPORT, naming a predecessor company, the AS number itself and a town.
• All eight blocks are registered to Charter Communications Inc, under four different netnames: RRMA, RR, ROAD-RUNNER-HOLDCO-LLC and COUDERSPORTBB-3.
• All eighteen sampled addresses returned a name, every one of the form syn-075-180-136-000.inf.spectrum.com, with a variant ending res.spectrum.com.

Interesting

• Zero-padding each octet to three digits means the names sort in address order in any plain text tool. Nobody does this by accident; it is a scheme designed for people reading log files rather than for people reading hostnames.
• Three of the four netnames are abbreviations of a brand retired years ago, one of them still carrying its holding company's legal suffix. The registry preserves the corporate history that the marketing does not.
• Putting the AS number inside the handle makes the record self-referential, which is useful exactly once: when a carrier holds dozens of small regional AS numbers and needs to tell them apart.
• One neighbour on a cable network this size means it is a leaf of a much larger backbone. The AS exists to keep an acquired system administratively separate, not to give it independent connectivity.
