About this network

Every field says the same thing, and the block is younger than most of its neighbours.

What it's used for

• A consumer lending chain's network. 1,024 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The whole footprint is 208.86.212.0/22, carrying the netname CASHEXPRESS.
• Netname, AS handle and registrant agree, differing only in spacing.
• The AS first appeared in routing on 2006-11-08, later than most numbers in this range.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A first appearance six years after the numbers around it means this one was issued, or reissued, well after the block of numbers it sits in was handed out. Sequence in the number space is a rough guide to age and no better than rough.
• A chain of storefronts handling cash and short-term loans needs every branch talking to a central system continuously, with regulatory reporting behind it. That is a private network with a small public edge, and this is the edge.
• Two upstreams matches the pattern for a business where the branches stop working if head office becomes unreachable.
• Nothing published in reverse DNS and no IPv6 is the ordinary configuration for a network that was set up once, works, and gets touched only when something breaks. For an operator holding financial records, publishing less is the safer default anyway.
