AS14792 — DST-ASN
AS14792 announces 25 IPv4 prefixes covering 19,456 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.
About this network
The acquiring company's overseas arms hold blocks carved out of the middle of the acquired company's own range.
What it's used for
- A financial record-keeping company's network. 19,456 addresses across 25 IPv4 prefixes, with five observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- Most blocks carry the netname DSTNET-B, registered to DST Systems, Inc. with a Network Engineers contact.
- Three do not: SSC-UK-01 and SSC-UK-02 registered to SS&C Technologies, and SSC-AU-01 registered to SS&C Technologies - AU.
- All four of those sit inside 170.40, the same range as everything else.
- Twenty-two of the 25 prefixes come from 170.40; the rest are single /24s from 12.41, 63.87 and 198.176.
- Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Sub-allocating an acquirer's foreign subsidiaries out of the acquired company's own space is the cheapest possible integration. Nothing renumbers, nothing moves, and the registry records the merger as three rows in the middle of somebody else's block.
- A netname ending in -B implies an A that no longer appears anywhere here. Whatever the first network was called, only the second survives in the routing table.
- Twenty-five announcements for one company's own use, cut from /20 down to /24, is internal structure made visible. The pieces map to processing sites rather than to any traffic-engineering need, since five neighbours cannot make use of that much detail.
- Publishing no reverse names is normal for a firm whose counterparties are other financial institutions connecting over arranged links.
