About this network

The same carrier that writes addresses backwards in netnames does it again here.

What it's used for

• A media production company's network. 256 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The whole footprint is 70.34.165.0/24, carrying the netname USSIG-0-165-34-70-24 and registered to the company.
• That netname lists the four parts of the address in reverse order, then the prefix length.
• All three sampled addresses answer as customer-70-34-165-64.host.ussignalcom.net and similar, listing the same parts in the usual order.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and all three returned a name.

Interesting

• The identical pattern appears on an unrelated business elsewhere in this sweep, under the same carrier, which settles it: the reversal is systematic rather than a one-off mistake. One generator builds netnames from the address read backwards and another builds hostnames from it read forwards.
• Reverse order is how addresses are written in the naming system itself, so the netname generator took its convention from the lookup tree while the hostname generator took its from how people say addresses aloud.
• The reverse DNS marks every address as a customer host and names the provider, so the company appears only in the registrant.
• One upstream on a single block, with the media work itself almost certainly delivered from somewhere else.
