About this network

A city holding its own registry records on space carved out of a carrier's range.

What it's used for

• A municipal authority's network. 2,048 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The two blocks carry the netnames EL-RENO-MA-CGNT-NET-1 and EL-RENO-MA-CGNT-NET-2, both registered to the city.
• Both sit in the same carrier's range, whose abbreviation appears in the middle of each netname.
• Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
• The AS first appeared in routing on 2000-08-18.

Interesting

• The netname structure is the whole story: the city, an abbreviation for its municipal authority, the carrier, and a sequence number. Four facts in one field, in the order the carrier's provisioning system thinks about them, with the customer first and the count last.
• A city running its own AS usually means it also runs a utility, and a municipal authority that numbers its blocks is planning for a third. Towns that build fibre end up as small ISPs whether they meant to or not.
• The addresses come from the carrier's range but the records name the city, which is the middle ground between renting and owning: the city can point at a registry entry with its name on it, and still cannot take the space elsewhere.
• Two upstreams and nothing published is a sensible minimum for a network carrying utility billing and public safety traffic.
