AS14390 announces 8 IPv4 prefixes covering 3,584 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The company name is spelled three different ways across three fields of its own record.

What it's used for

• A telecom carrier's network. 3,584 addresses across eight IPv4 prefixes, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The AS is filed under the handle CORENET, the netnames read CORNET-OPS-1 and CORNET-OPS-2, and the registrant is Coretel America, Inc.
• The lookup for 69.72.95.0/24 failed.
• One of eighteen sampled addresses answered: fs-trans72a.phlapafg.coretel.net.

Interesting

• Three spellings of one word, none of them wrong in isolation, is what happens when the handle, the netname and the legal name are typed on three different days by three different people. No system compares them, so all three are permanent.
• That one hostname is dense. The first part names a function and a numbered instance with a letter suffix; the second is a location code of the kind telephone companies have used for a century, packing a city, a state and a specific building into eight characters. A carrier that grew out of the phone business names its machines the way the phone business does.
• Both netnames end in a numbered operations label, so the blocks are grouped by which part of the business runs them rather than by when they were issued.
• One neighbour for a carrier is unusual and means its connectivity comes through a parent or a single wholesale arrangement.
