AS14654 — WAYPORT

AS14654 announces 19 IPv4 prefixes covering 916,480 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Nearly a million addresses reaching the internet through exactly one neighbour, under a company name that no longer matches the paperwork.

What it's used for

• A corporate network. 916,480 addresses across 117 IPv4 prefixes plus one IPv6 prefix, 2001:4b8::/32, with one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The AS handle is WAYPORT; the registrant on every block is AT&T Enterprises, LLC.
• Netnames follow a single scheme: WAYPORT-184-48-NET, WAYPORT-100-44-NET, WAYPORT-107-16-NET, WAYPORT-50-94-NET, WAYPORT-64-134-NET.
• Each netname carries the base of a parent range rather than of the block it labels.
• 100.45.0.0/16, 100.46.0.0/17 and 100.44.0.0/18 all resolve to WAYPORT-100-44-NET.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
• The registry lookup for 50.95.128.0/18 failed.

Interesting

• One neighbour is the entire external picture. Everything in this announcement reaches the rest of the internet through a single adjacency, which for 916,480 addresses means a network with exactly one way out and no interest in having another.
• The handle and the registrant name two different companies, and it is the handle that got copied into every netname. An acquisition rewrites the registrant field once; nobody goes back for the hundred netnames that quote the old name.
• A network this large with nothing answering a reverse lookup is one whose addresses are never meant to be looked up by anyone outside it.
