About this network

Netname and hostnames preserve two different generations of the same carrier's name.

What it's used for

• A trucking and logistics company's network. 256 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The whole footprint is 63.235.120.0/24, carrying the netname CENTURYLINK-LEGACY-QWEST-INET-17 and registered to the carrier.
• All three sampled addresses answer under dia.static.qwest.net, using the older of the two brands in that netname.
• The three letters before static abbreviate the product these addresses are sold as.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and all three returned a name.

Interesting

• The netname records the acquisition explicitly, naming the acquiring carrier, marking the range as inherited, then naming the carrier it came from. The DNS never got the memo and still answers under the acquired brand, so the same addresses present two corporate eras depending on which system you ask.
• Labelling the product in the hostname tells anybody looking that these are dedicated business circuits rather than consumer connections, which is a fair amount of commercial detail to publish by default.
• A trucking company's routed block covers dispatch and customer-facing tracking; the trucks themselves reach it over mobile networks with no addresses here.
• Two upstreams keeps dispatch reachable when one carrier path fails.
