AS14700 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 512 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Two blocks numbered one and three, with nothing where the second should be.

What it's used for

• A solutions provider's network. 512 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• 130.12.30.0/24 carries the netname NXRE1 and 149.112.185.0/24 carries NXRE3.
• Both netnames compress the company name to four consonants and a digit.
• The AS handle is the registry's placeholder for a number with no organisation recorded against it.
• Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A gap in a netname series is one of the few places the registry records something that is not there. A second block was filed at some point and is now either withdrawn, transferred or held without being announced. Nothing here says which.
• Compressing a name by removing its vowels produces something short, unique and unpronounceable. It works well as a database key and badly as a label, which is a fair description of what netnames have become.
• Both blocks come from ranges issued in the earliest era of allocations, so this space is older than the company using it and arrived by transfer rather than by request.
• An empty handle, one upstream and no published names is a network that exists to be used rather than found.
