AS14114 announces 42 IPv4 prefixes covering 82,944 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The netnames are a data-centre inventory: country, city, sequence number, one line per site.

What it's used for

• A software company's global network. 82,944 addresses across 66 IPv4 prefixes plus one IPv6 prefix, 2001:678:f88::/48, with 15 observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Netnames follow one scheme: SAP-US-CHD, SAP-US-COS-1, SAP-US-COS-2, SAP-CA-YTO-1, SAP-CA-YTO-2, SAP-DE-FRA, SAP-NL-AMS-5, SAP-SA-RUH, SAP-SE-SIN, SAP-UAE-DUB.
• The largest block, 155.56.0.0/17, carries the plain netname SAP.
• 157.133.144.0/20 carries SAP-DC-WW1, the only one naming no country at all.
• Registrants read SAP, SAP SE or SAP UAE depending on the block.
• All 67 announced prefixes are attributed to the United States.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Ten netnames name ten cities on four continents, and the sequence numbers say which of them have more than one site. A company that files its address space this way has published its own facility list to anyone willing to read a registry, without publishing a single hostname.
• Every prefix is attributed to one country while the netnames describe sites all over the world. Attribution follows where the space is registered and announced, not where the machines are, and this is as clear a demonstration of the gap as the registry offers.
• SAP-DC-WW1 breaks the pattern by refusing to name a place. Whatever runs there is either not tied to one site or not meant to be located from outside.
• Sixty-six prefixes for 82,944 addresses means most blocks are small. Each site took what it needed and announced it separately.
