About this network

The block is registered to a company that no longer exists, under its buyer's netname.

What it's used for

• An educational broadcaster's network. 1,024 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• 38.117.208.0/22 is registered to PSINet, Inc. under the netname COGENT-NB-0002.
• Neither of those names is the organisation announcing the block.
• The netname's trailing digits are a sequence number in the current holder's own scheme.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Three parties appear in one record: the broadcaster using the addresses, an internet provider that was bought out early in the century and still holds the registration, and the carrier that bought it and has renamed the block without renaming the registrant. Each layer was added by somebody with no reason to remove the one below.
• Space from this range is carrier space assigned to a customer rather than held by them, so the broadcaster is renting. If it changed carrier it would renumber, which is precisely the situation an organisation obtains its own address space to avoid, and it has an AS number without that benefit.
• Two upstreams for a broadcaster is sensible, since the point of the network is to keep programming reaching an audience.
• Nothing published in reverse DNS means the distribution systems are reached by name held elsewhere.
