About this network

A generic label and a counter: the carrier's file for a city, not a name for one.

What it's used for

• A municipal government's network. 256 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The whole footprint is 69.87.213.0/24, carrying the netname CITYOF-166 and registered to the city.
• That netname names no city at all: it is the words run together, followed by a number.
• The AS handle is COL-ETS, three initials and a department abbreviation.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• The counter is the interesting field. A provider that assigns blocks to enough municipalities to need a hundred and sixty-six of them stops writing names and starts writing sequence numbers, so the label records how many customers of one kind came before rather than which one this is.
• The registrant is the only field that identifies the holder, and the AS handle only does so if the initials are already known.
• The trailing group in the handle reads as an internal department rather than the city itself, which is how public sector records usually arrive: the team that ordered the circuit gets named.
• Nothing is published in the reverse DNS and no IPv6 is announced.
