About this network

A security company whose netname reads as the abbreviation for an encryption protocol.

What it's used for

• A cloud security vendor's network. 256 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The whole footprint is 199.180.202.0/24, carrying the netname SSL-1133 and registered to the company.
• Those three letters are also the standard abbreviation for the encryption layer that predates the current one.
• The AS handle spells the company name out in full.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• The letters almost certainly come from a former corporate name rather than the protocol, which is exactly what makes the collision worth noting: a security vendor's block labelled with the acronym of a retired cryptographic standard. Netnames outlive the companies that choose them, and this one has outlived at least one rename already.
• Vendors selling cloud security run most of their delivery on infrastructure they do not register, so a single small block and a single upstream describes the corporate network rather than the product.
• The counter after the letters places this in a numbered series with no other member announced here.
• No IPv6 is announced, which is a conspicuous gap for a company whose business is network security.
