About this network
Two brands, two entirely different reverse naming schemes, and a netname carrying the year it was filed.
What it's used for
- A rural telephone cooperative's network. 52,736 addresses across 17 IPv4 prefixes plus one IPv6 prefix, 2606:a200::/32, with eight observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Its own blocks carry RURALTEL, RURALTEL2013 and RULC, registered to RURAL TELEPHONE SERVICE COMPANY, INC.
- Two carry LVLT-RTSC-3-8-36-240 and LVLT-RTSC-3-8-39-240, registered to the cooperative under a carrier's naming scheme.
- Three carry LPL-141--NEXTEC-1-8-42-80, LPL-141--NEXTEC-1-8-42-88 and KFN-RURALTELEPHONE, registered to NEX-TECH.
- Seven of eighteen sampled addresses returned a name, in two forms: 254.111.210.198.nex-tech.com and p254n23.ruraltel.net.
Interesting
- The two reverse schemes have nothing in common. One writes the address backwards with dots, which is the reverse-lookup form with a domain glued on the end. The other compresses it to a letter, the host number, another letter and the subnet. Both are generated, both are correct, and they came from different engineers.
- RURALTEL2013 carries the year it was registered while the older RURALTEL does not, so the registry records which blocks arrived in the second wave.
- The doubled hyphen in the carrier netnames is a template joining an empty field, preserved because nothing checks the format.
- Eight neighbours for a cooperative this size. Rural carriers pool transit through shared arrangements, and each of those counts separately.
