AS14369 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 4,352 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

One of its blocks is registered to a name that is also its netname, with no company behind either.

What it's used for

• A regional provider's network. 4,352 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes plus a full 2604:a0c0::/32 of IPv6, with two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• 65.79.240.0/20 carries the netname NMAX, registered to Nmax.
• 209.173.9.0/24 carries the netname JACKSON-BROADBAND and is registered to JACKSON-BROADBAND, the same string in both fields.
• Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A registrant field that repeats the netname exactly means nobody ever typed a legal entity into it. The record identifies a service, not a company, and whoever filed it treated the two fields as one. It is common enough in older records that it barely registers, and it makes the block untraceable to anyone who is not already inside.
• A hyphenated brand naming a town and a product is how small broadband operators name themselves everywhere, which makes the label both descriptive and useless for identification.
• A provider-sized /32 of IPv6 against a /20 and a /24 of IPv4 is the modern imbalance: the newer protocol is handed out in quantities that make the older one look like rationing, because it was.
• Two neighbours and nothing answering a reverse lookup describes a network that sells connectivity and keeps its subscribers anonymous by default.
