About this network

The handle field holds an entire display line, punctuation and all.

What it's used for

• A commodity trading software vendor's network. 256 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The AS handle is recorded as the number, a separator and the company name in full, spaces and trailing full stop included.
• The whole footprint is 206.155.48.0/24, carrying the netname CENTURYLINK-LEGACY-SAVVIS-BLK122 and registered to the carrier.
• That netname stacks two carrier names and a block counter.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A handle is supposed to be a short identifier, and this one is the whole line a lookup tool would print. Somebody pasted the output of a query back into the form that generates it, and the registry accepted the result.
• The netname records an acquisition in the order it happened, naming the acquired carrier's brand after the acquiring one, then numbering the block within that inherited series. Three names for one set of addresses, none of them the customer's.
• Software for commodity trading is delivered to desks that need it live, so the two upstreams here matter more than the modest address count.
• The same handle-holds-the-display-line pattern turns up elsewhere in this range, so the form responsible is not unique to this entry.
