AS14301 — EVEREST-INTERNET

AS14301 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 768 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The netname is the company plus the first half of its addresses, and the contact handle is cut off mid-word.

What it's used for

• A services company's network. 768 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• Both 206.208.232.0/23 and 206.208.237.0/24 carry the netname EVEREST-206-208.
• That netname joins the company name to the first two numbers of the block, so it names the range rather than either announcement.
• The registrant field carries a technical contact handle that ends mid-word, truncated by a length limit.
• Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Naming a record after the first two octets is a sensible convention for an organisation expecting several blocks from the same range. It survives being split, which the address-derived netnames elsewhere in this range do not, and it explains why both announcements here share one entry.
• The truncated contact handle is the same failure as a truncated netname, one field along. Somewhere a person or role has a longer name than the registry allows, and every record referring to them carries the stump.
• The two announcements skip a block between them. Holding a contiguous range and routing only parts of it usually means the rest is used somewhere that does not need to be reachable.
• Two upstreams and no IPv6 is the common shape here: enough redundancy to survive a carrier outage, no interest in the newer protocol.
