About this network

Every netname spells out the word SLASH, because the character itself is not allowed.

What it's used for

• A contact-centre software company's network. 2,048 addresses across five IPv4 prefixes, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The netnames write the block out in full, as GENESYS-208-79-168-0-SLASH-22 and the like.
• 135.39.176.0/24 carries a netname ending SLASH-16, describing a range far larger than what is announced.
• Five of fifteen sampled addresses answered, mostly as the address with dashes and a net- prefix.
• One answer is bcast-vl96.genesyslab.com.

Interesting

• Netnames cannot contain the character that separates an address from its length, so somebody wrote the word instead. It is the most literal possible solution and it makes each record self- describing, which is more than most netnames manage.
• The record covering a range sixteen bits wide, with a single small block announced out of it, is the interesting one. The company holds far more space than it advertises, and only the part in use is visible in routing.
• One published name marks a broadcast address and carries a virtual network number with it. That number is internal design detail: it tells an outsider how the company segments its own network, which is more than a reverse zone needs to say.
• Separate operations and abuse contacts appear on four of the five records, which is unusually consistent registry hygiene.
