AS14264 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 8,192 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Two blocks, two netnames, and an IPv6 prefix from the range the registry hands out directly.

What it's used for

• A university's network. 8,192 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes plus one IPv6 prefix, 2620:0:2280::/48, with a single observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• 216.229.224.0/20 carries the netname SAU-NET and 216.249.112.0/20 carries SAU-NET2, both registered to Southern Adventist University with IT and abuse contacts.
• Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• The IPv6 prefix comes from the range reserved for direct assignments to organisations rather than allocations to providers. A /48 from there is the smallest unit the registry hands out that way, and it means the university went and asked rather than taking whatever its upstream offered.
• Two /20s from ranges close enough to have been issued in the same era, numbered one and two, is a campus that grew once and stopped. There is no third block and no sign one was ever wanted.
• A single neighbour on a network with its own AS number is the arrangement of an institution that wanted independent addressing more than it wanted multiple upstreams. Portable space survives a change of provider; a second provider costs money every month.
• Contacts listed as a department and a role, rather than named individuals, is how a small university IT office keeps its registry record from going stale when people leave.
