About this network

Every netname says which product the block serves, so the registry doubles as a price list.

What it's used for

• A regional ISP's network. 4,864 addresses across five IPv4 prefixes plus three IPv6 prefixes, with six observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The five netnames are ISP-ORI-NET, WISP-ORI-NET, FIBER-ORI-NET, MDU-ORI-NET and INDY-CACHE-ORI-NET, all registered to On-Ramp Indiana, Inc. (ORI.NET).
• Two of fifteen sampled addresses returned names: 208-72-109-254.hinkle-infrastructure.ori.net and 158-51-48-128.clients.ori.net.
• The IPv6 prefixes come from two families, 2602:f793 and 2602:ff99.

Interesting

• Reading down the netnames tells you the whole business: wired service, wireless service, fibre, apartment buildings, and a block set aside for caching in the nearest large city. Most operators label blocks by where they came from; this one labels them by what customers buy.
• Separating a caching block by name is a small operator thinking like a large one. Content that can be served locally never crosses a transit link, and giving it its own registered range makes that saving auditable.
• One reverse name puts a customer or site label between the address and the domain, so the zone is organised by who is on the other end rather than by which router it hangs off.
• Six neighbours across five prefixes is generous for this size, and consistent with an operator that sells to businesses, apartments and homes and cannot afford any of them to notice an outage.
