About this network

A provincial gas and electricity utility reaching the internet through one link.

What it's used for

• An energy utility's network. 512 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The whole footprint is 199.60.24.0/23, carrying the netname FORTI-26.
• That netname cuts the company name after five letters and adds a number.
• The AS handle is FBC-ASN-001, initials plus a padded counter.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• One upstream for a utility that delivers gas and power to a province is the fact to sit with. The operational networks that run pipelines and substations are separate from anything routed here, and they should be, but everything customer-facing depends on a single connection.
• The padded counter in the handle implies room for a thousand more, which is the sort of numbering chosen by somebody expecting the organisation to grow more networks than it ever will.
• A truncated netname plus a number is the least informative naming style a company can apply to its own space, and it is applied here to the only block the utility announces.
• Publishing nothing in reverse DNS is a reasonable choice for critical infrastructure, and it is consistent across the sample.
