About this network

Half its address space belongs to its upstream, and the other half carries three netnames from three earlier companies.

What it's used for

• A rural broadband provider's network. 6,144 addresses across eight IPv4 prefixes, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• Four blocks in 38.131 carry the netname COGENT-A, registered to Cogent Communications, LLC.
• The other four are registered to Chisholm Broadband LLC under three unrelated netnames: OMEGA1-ARIN-01, EWL-27 on two blocks, and 2PIFI-NET01-24-124.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Space in the 38.131 range is assigned by the upstream carrier and comes back if the circuit is cancelled. Half this network runs on borrowed addresses, which is the cheapest way for a small operator to grow and the hardest to walk away from.
• The three remaining netnames are fossils. One reads like a wireless brand, one like an initialism nobody would choose twice, and one like an equipment inventory tag. Each arrived with a company that was bought, and none was renamed afterwards.
• Two neighbours and no IPv6 at all, on a network holding this many separately acquired blocks, describes an operator whose growth has been in customers and territory rather than in engineering.
• Nothing answers a reverse lookup, so subscriber addresses here are anonymous by default.
