AS14486 — OXY-AS

AS14486 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 65,536 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

One block, one announcement, and a registry lookup that failed, leaving the routing table as the only thing that will say anything about it.

What it's used for

• A liberal arts college's campus network. 65,536 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, 134.69.0.0/16, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The registry lookup for that one block failed, so no netname or registrant was retrieved. That is a failed fetch rather than an empty record.
• The AS handle is OXY-AS.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
• The routing archive has carried it since the archive began.

Interesting

• With the registry silent and the reverse tree silent, everything known about this network comes from the routing table: one prefix, announced whole, reachable through two providers. It is a useful reminder of how little the public record is obliged to say.
• The handle is the college's nickname rather than its initials. Handles are the one field an applicant picks freely, and an institution with a shorter name it actually uses will reach for that instead of the formal one.
• A sixteen-bit block announced as a single prefix means nothing inside has ever needed to be reached on its own terms. Small campuses that grew in one place produce the simplest routing footprint there is.
• Two neighbours is the minimum that survives one provider failing, and for a college that is usually the whole design brief.
