About this network

Its one published hostname names a router, a circuit and a town, in that order.

What it's used for

• A hosting and network services provider. 4,352 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes plus four IPv6 prefixes, with four observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• 206.55.64.0/20 carries the netname SOLNET-BLK-1 with a hostmaster contact spelling the company differently from the registrant field.
• 205.166.146.0/24 is registered to Digital Solutions, Inc. under DSINET-2.
• The IPv6 prefixes run 2602:804:1000::/46, 2602:804:1004::/47, 2602:804:1006::/47 and 2602:804:1008::/45, four pieces of one allocation.
• One of six sampled addresses returned a name: border0-300-net.asbnva.sol.net.

Interesting

• That hostname is three facts joined together: which router, which numbered network on it, and which site it lives at. The site label compresses a town and a state into six letters, a convention borrowed from airport codes and used by every network operator who has run out of memorable names.
• The company's own name appears in lower case with a dot in the middle, which was a fashionable way to name an internet business at exactly one moment in history. The hostmaster contact capitalises it normally, so even the company disagrees with itself.
• A second block registered to an unrelated company, numbered two, is an acquisition that came with its own registry record and kept it.
• Four IPv6 pieces from one family against two IPv4 blocks: the newer protocol arrived here as a single grant and was cut up for internal reasons, not routing ones.
