AS14074 — COLGATE

AS14074 announces 9 IPv4 prefixes covering 3,072 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Its netnames are numbered 4, 8, 12, 14 and 17, and the gaps are the interesting part.

What it's used for

• A consumer goods company's network. 3,072 addresses across nine IPv4 prefixes plus 2620:133:2000::/40 of IPv6, with two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Five blocks carry the company name with a number attached, running COLGATE4, COLGATE8, COLGATE12, COLGATE14 and COLGATE17; a sixth carries the bare name.
• Two blocks carry the netname NET192, registered to Various Registries (Maintained by ARIN).
• One lookup failed, and eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS with none returning a name.

Interesting

• A counter reaching seventeen with only five of those filings announced here means the company has held at least seventeen separate blocks. The missing numbers are space that was returned, sold, or is routed somewhere this AS does not reach. The registry preserves the count even when it no longer preserves the blocks.
• Two blocks sit under a custodial record rather than a company one. That happens with assignments made before the modern registry existed: nobody filed the paperwork to claim them, so the registry holds them nominally while the original recipient continues to use them.
• Eight of the nine announcements fall in one contiguous region in /23 and /24 fragments, which is a single old allocation announced only where it is still in use.
• A /40 of IPv6 is a serious allocation for a company announcing three thousand IPv4 addresses, and it is the one part of this record built for the future rather than inherited from the past.
