AS14431 — UCC-INET

AS14431 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 512 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Two neighbouring blocks that cannot be combined, because the numbering starts on the wrong one.

What it's used for

• A community college's network. 512 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• 198.200.215.0/24 and 198.200.216.0/24 are consecutive but cannot be announced as one block.
• Both carry the netname UMPQUA, the college's name with nothing else attached.
• The registrant field appends a role to the organisation name, separated by a semicolon.
• Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Blocks only merge into a larger one when the first of the pair starts on the right boundary. These two are adjacent on paper and unmergeable in routing, which is why they appear as two entries rather than one. It is a common frustration for anyone who assumes consecutive numbers can be combined.
• Naming a role rather than an individual in the registrant field is the correct practice: the role outlasts whoever currently holds it, and nobody's name is published to the world.
• A single upstream for a college is thin. When it fails, classes that depend on remote systems stop, and there is no second path.
• Both blocks sharing one netname means the registry cannot tell them apart, so any report about either arrives describing both.
