AS14650 — Nucleo de Inf. e Coord. do Ponto BR - NIC.

AS14650 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 512 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Twenty-five neighbours on 512 addresses, which is the signature of somewhere traffic meets rather than somewhere it goes.

What it's used for

• One of several numbers used by the body that runs a country's address registry and exchange points. 512 IPv4 addresses in a single prefix, one IPv6 prefix, and 25 observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The whole IPv4 footprint is 200.219.158.0/23, and the lookup for that block failed, so nothing is known about how it is registered.
• The IPv6 announcement is 2001:12f8:c::/47, covering two adjacent end-site blocks.
• The neighbour count is far higher than the address count would suggest.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• The ratio is the whole story. Twenty-five separate networks connect to this one, and between them they are reaching 512 addresses. Nothing here is a destination in the ordinary sense; the value is in being a place other networks can meet.
• The same organisation holds another number in this range with a similar shape, so this is one instrument among several rather than the whole operation.
• Announcing the 2001:12f8:c::/47 whole, rather than splitting it into the two end-site blocks it contains, is the tidier choice and the opposite of what most operators in this range do.
• The failed lookup is worth stating plainly: it means the registration is unknown here, not that the block is unregistered.
