About this network

Ten scattered /24s, every one labelled with the entire surrounding range it was cut from.

What it's used for

• A bank's network. 2,816 addresses across 11 IPv4 prefixes, with five observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• Ten announcements sit inside 161.131 and every one carries the same netname, 161.131.0.0 - 161.131.255.255, which is the entire surrounding range.
• The eleventh block carries CTC-MUNDO-DOM1 and is registered to a carrier.
• The AS is filed under a handle that is the bank's full name, spaces and all.
• The AS first appeared in routing on 2016-07-17.

Interesting

• Announcing ten /24s from a block you hold entirely, rather than one route covering all of it, costs nine extra entries in every router on the internet and buys control over how each piece is reached. Banks do this to steer traffic for particular services down particular paths, and to keep a failure in one from moving the others.
• The netname naming the whole surrounding range is generated by the registry from the parent allocation, so all ten records are identical and none identifies its own block.
• A handle containing spaces and a full legal name is what happens when the field is filled with the organisation rather than an identifier. It is unusual, and it makes the AS easier to attribute than most.
• Five neighbours and a first appearance in the routing archive long after most of this range: a network built recently, for reach, by an institution that already existed.
