About this network

A shared criminal justice network for one judicial circuit, on a single upstream.

What it's used for

• A court and law enforcement information consortium's network. 1,024 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The whole footprint is 204.147.204.0/22, carrying the netname NN-CJIS-20-JUD-FL.
• That netname packs a registry-era prefix, the system, the circuit number, the word judicial and the state into one field.
• An operations centre is named as the contact rather than an individual.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A consortium is an unusual holder for address space. Courts, the sheriff's office, the clerk and the state attorney each answer to different authorities, but they all need the same case and warrant records, so they share one network and one AS between them. The registry has no way to express that, so it records the shared body as though it were a company.
• The two letters at the front of the netname are a convention from the era before regional registries, so this record has survived every change of address policy since without being refiled.
• One upstream for a system carrying criminal justice records is the arrangement most worth questioning here, though a network that talks mainly to state systems may reach them by other paths the collector cannot see.
• Publishing nothing in reverse DNS is correct for records this sensitive.
