About this network

A netname with a digit standing in for a word.

What it's used for

• A university's network. 1,024 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• 67.207.20.0/22 carries the netname ITNET4UTRGV1, which reads as an information technology network for the university, numbered one.
• The digit in the middle stands in for a word rather than counting anything.
• The AS handle repeats the AS number inside itself.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Text-message shorthand in a registry field is rarer than it should be, given how tightly these names are constrained. Somebody needed several words in twelve characters and reached for the trick everyone uses in a phone message, which works perfectly and looks startling in a database meant to outlive them.
• A handle containing its own AS number is redundant, since the number is the key the record is filed under. It happens when a name collides with one already taken and the number is the easiest thing to append.
• One upstream for a university is unusual and usually means the connection runs through a state or regional education network that the collector sees as a single relationship.
• Nothing published in reverse DNS is the modern choice for a campus, where the alternative is a public directory of every device on the network.
