AS14089 — CANNET

AS14089 announces 4 IPv4 prefixes covering 3,840 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Four adjacent blocks, each half the size of the last, and the only published name belongs to a drop forge.

What it's used for

• An ISP's network. 3,840 addresses across four IPv4 prefixes, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The blocks are 69.84.32.0/21, 69.84.40.0/22, 69.84.44.0/23 and 69.84.46.0/24, each immediately following the last.
• Three carry the netname CANNET-BLK-20A; the lookup for the largest failed.
• One of twelve sampled addresses answered: exchange.cantondropforge.com.
• The AS first appeared in routing on 2002-07-06.

Interesting

• Four contiguous blocks halving in size describe one continuous range that stops short of a power of two. The operator holds everything up to a boundary and then stops, so the announcement has to be built out of pieces. Announcing them separately rather than as one covering route costs three extra entries in every router on the internet.
• The netname ends in a number and a letter, which is what a filing looks like when the number alone was already taken. The letter is the second attempt.
• The single answering address is a mail server for a metal forging company, and it is the only evidence in the whole record of what this ISP actually carries. Business customers get names because their mail has to be traceable; everyone else gets nothing.
• Two neighbours for a provider serving businesses is the minimum that lets it survive one of them failing.
