About this network

One of its addresses answers undefined.hostname.localhost, and one of its blocks belongs to a shoe shop.

What it's used for

• A hosting and transit provider's network. 5,376 addresses across 11 IPv4 prefixes and 16 IPv6 prefixes, with 37 observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Its own blocks carry HBL-V4-1, HBL-V4-2, HOSTED-NETBLK4 and three copies of NETBLK4.
• 204.109.52.0/22 carries HBL-V4-3 but is registered to Saxon Shoes, Inc.
• Other blocks belong to Fauquier County, Verizon Business, and two companies filed in another registry as US-CLEARDOCKS-20110419 and US-TRUVIEW-20100820.
• Four of eighteen sampled addresses returned names, including nc-ctl4-edge1lo2.ctl4.nc.hostedbackbone.net and undefined.hostname.localhost.

Interesting

• That last name is a default string from network equipment, published to the internet because nobody replaced it. It is the most honest record in the pack.
• The router names carry an underscore, which hostnames are not supposed to contain, and encode state, site, device and the exact interface the address sits on. Anyone reading them learns the provider's physical layout for free.
• A retailer's /22 under the provider's own netname series is address space bought or inherited from a business with no further use for it. The county block next to it is a customer keeping its own registration.
• The IPv6 side is one family announced as a ladder from /47 up to /39, far more space than the IPv4 footprint suggests.
