AS14448 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 512 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The handle is the AS number written out again, and the one name published is a test system.

What it's used for

• A university's network. 512 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The AS handle is 14448, the number itself with no letters attached.
• The whole footprint is 192.154.46.0/23, carrying the netname NET192 and registered to Various Registries (Maintained by ARIN).
• One sampled address answers as testportalcluster.highpoint.edu.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and one returned a name.

Interesting

• The registrant is a bookkeeping entry rather than an organisation. It marks space administered on behalf of whoever holds it, so the record confirms the block exists and says nothing about who uses it. The university appears nowhere in the block's registration.
• A handle that is only the number is what gets recorded when nobody supplied one, and it leaves the AS record as unhelpful as the block record.
• The one name published names a test portal cluster. Test systems are where old software, default credentials and forgotten accounts accumulate, and publishing one by name in reverse DNS puts it on every list of things worth trying.
• A single upstream for a whole campus means one link stands between students and everything they use, and 512 addresses means almost all of them share a handful of outward-facing addresses.
