AS14096 — FIRSTRATE-ARL-TEXAS-AS

AS14096 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 256 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The handle abbreviates the city and then spells the state out in full.

What it's used for

• A financial technology company's network. 256 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The AS handle is FIRSTRATE-ARL-TEXAS-AS: the company name, a three-letter city abbreviation, a state written out, and the record type.
• The whole footprint is 50.58.31.0/24, carrying the netname TWTC-FIRSTRATE and registered to the company.
• That netname leads with a carrier abbreviation before the customer name.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Mixing an abbreviation and a full word inside the same identifier is the small inconsistency worth noticing. Whoever wrote it shortened the city because it was long and left the state alone because it was familiar, which is how these fields drift out of any scheme.
• Four groups in a handle is more structure than most records in this range carry, and it makes this one of the few where the location can be read straight off the number.
• The carrier named in the netname was absorbed into a larger company, so the label outlived the operator that wrote it.
• One upstream, no IPv6, and nothing published in the reverse DNS for a company whose customers reach it through hosted software.
