AS14679 — CURBASN

AS14679 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 512 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

One block still belongs to the payment terminal company this business used to be part of.

What it's used for

• A taxi hailing and payments company's network. 512 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• 64.110.153.0/24 carries the netname CML-211 and is registered to the current company.
• 208.1.103.0/24 carries SPRINTLINK and is registered to Verifone Transportation System.
• That second registrant is the payment terminal division this business separated from.
• Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• The two records mark the two halves of the same company's history. The taxi business began as the transport arm of a payment terminals maker, because the screen in the back of a cab is a payment terminal that happens to show advertisements. The registry still describes it that way.
• A netname that is only a carrier product name tells you nothing about the customer, which is why the older block would be invisible to anyone searching the registry for this company.
• Devices in vehicles connect over mobile networks rather than through announced address space, so what routes here is the back end: dispatch, fare processing and the systems the cars talk to.
• Two upstreams over 512 addresses is enough for a service whose failure mode is that a payment does not clear until the connection returns.
