About this network

The netname convention changed halfway through the numbering, and the numbering carried straight on regardless.

What it's used for

• A managed hosting network. 111,360 addresses across 81 IPv4 prefixes plus one IPv6 prefix, 2607:f9f0::/32, with 18 observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Blocks one, three and four are named DATAPIPE-BLK1, DATAPIPE-BLK3 and DATAPIPE-BLK4.
• Blocks five through eight are named DATAPIPE-NETBLK5, DATAPIPE-NETBLK6, DATAPIPE-NETBLK7 and DATAPIPE-NETBLK8.
• Every block registers to DataPipe, Inc., several with a hostmaster contact alongside.
• One of eighteen sampled addresses returned a name: 64.27.75.254 answers as shopattitudes.com.
• Prefix sizes cluster tightly, mostly /20 and /21, spread across eight unrelated ranges.

Interesting

• The word NETBLK appears from the fifth block onward and never before it. Whoever filed block five wrote the longer form and kept the sequence number, so the registry records both the change of habit and the exact point it happened.
• The one address that answers gives a customer's own domain, with no provider label anywhere in the name. That is hosting working as intended: the address belongs to the provider, the name belongs to whoever rents it, and from outside only the second is visible.
• Eighteen neighbours for 111,360 addresses is a network that buys transit from several providers at once. Hosting customers notice an outage immediately, and the cheapest insurance against one is another neighbour.
