AS14395 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 256 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The netname names the bank and then the carrier that sold it the circuit.

What it's used for

• A wholesale bank's network. 256 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with three observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The whole footprint is 155.229.196.0/24, carrying the netname FHLBA-GTT and registered to the bank.
• The three letters after the hyphen are a carrier's initials rather than anything about the bank.
• The AS handle is FHLBATL, the bank's initials run together with a city abbreviation.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Putting the carrier's initials in a customer-registered netname is the reverse of the usual arrangement, where a carrier's own prefix leads and the customer trails. Here the bank holds the block and still recorded who provides the connectivity, which dates the entry to a specific contract.
• Three upstreams on 256 addresses is well beyond the norm for this range, and it fits an institution that lends to other banks: the counterparties on the other end expect the systems to answer.
• Both identifier fields carry the city, which matters because this bank is one of a regional set that share the same first four letters.
• No IPv6 is announced, and nothing is published in the reverse DNS.
