AS14235 — STATE-NM-

AS14235 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 65,536 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

A single sixteen-bit block cut into 77 separate announcements, more pieces than anything else carded in this range.

What it's used for

• A state government's network. 65,536 addresses across 77 IPv4 prefixes plus one IPv6 prefix, 2605:5940::/32, with two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Every prefix checked carries the netname NM-STATE-GOVERNMENT, registered to State of New Mexico.
• All of them sit inside 164.64, mostly /22s, with a handful of /20s and /21s.
• The AS handle is recorded as STATE-NM-, ending on a hyphen where the holder string reads STATE-NM-US.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
• The routing archive first saw this AS in 2009, long after the address space itself was allocated.

Interesting

• Seventy-seven announcements out of one range is not a routing requirement, it is an administrative map. A state network serves agencies, courts, colleges and county offices that each want their own block, and once every one of them is announced separately the routing table records the org chart.
• A handle ending in a hyphen is a field that was cut to a length limit rather than to a word. It has stayed that way ever since, because nothing checks handles once they exist.
• Two neighbours holding all 77 pieces. The complexity is entirely internal; the outside world sees a state that buys transit from two providers.
