About this network

An old number announcing nothing but IPv6.

What it's used for

• A single IPv6 prefix, 2602:fa3b::/40, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv4 announced at all.

Notable

• The AS handle is LAB47, matching the holder record exactly.
• There are no IPv4 prefixes in the inventory, so no addresses were available to sample for reverse DNS.
• The one announced prefix is provider-sized.

Interesting

• A number from this range with an IPv6-only announcement is the interesting combination. The number itself dates from an era when nobody was allocating IPv6 to networks this small, so either the number changed hands or the holder abandoned its IPv4 footprint entirely.
• An allocation of this size is far more address space than any single organisation needs for itself. It is the size handed to networks that expect to assign onward to customers, which says more about intent than the single upstream does.
• The name is short, uninformative and shared with a great many other things, so the number is the only reliable way to find this holder.
• With no IPv4 there is nothing to look up in reverse, which is worth stating rather than reading as an empty result.
