AS14404 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 256 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

A city holding a provider-sized IPv6 allocation against 256 IPv4 addresses.

What it's used for

• A city government's network. 256 IPv4 addresses in a single prefix alongside an IPv6 2605:b1c0::/32, with three observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• That IPv6 prefix is the size handed to providers rather than to end sites.
• The IPv4 block is 8.14.206.0/24, carrying the netname LVLT-ORG-8-8 and registered to a carrier.
• The AS handle is CITY-OF-WICHITA-1, spelled out with a counter.
• Three observed neighbours, which is more than most single-block networks in this range carry.

Interesting

• A city with a provider-scale IPv6 allocation is running something wider than an office network: that much space is meant to be subdivided and handed out, whether to departments, to public facilities or to a municipal service. The IPv4 side is a single borrowed block, which is the usual asymmetry for anybody who arrived after the older space ran short.
• Three upstreams matters for a city, where emergency services, utility systems and public-facing sites all depend on the same routing staying up.
• The netname is a carrier's own organisational label rather than anything about Wichita, so the addresses say nothing about who uses them.
• Nothing is published in the reverse DNS for the sampled addresses.
