About this network

A hostname with the record type written into the middle of it.

What it's used for

• A mapping and location-data company's network. 2,048 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• 66.54.64.0/21 carries the netname HERE-DATACENTER, with role contacts for abuse handling and a network operations centre.
• One of three sampled addresses answered, with static-69-254.ptr.here.com.
• The AS first appeared in routing on 2000-08-18.

Interesting

• The hostname is built from a label meaning fixed assignment, two parts of the address, and then a subdomain named after the kind of record being served. Putting the record type in the name is a tidy habit: it keeps every generated reverse name inside one delegated zone, well away from the hand-maintained names that customers actually type.
• Naming the block after what it contains rather than after a number or a place is unusual and useful. The registry entry says outright that these addresses are a facility, not offices and not subscribers.
• A location company runs enormous data pipelines, and almost none of that traffic needs a public address. One block, one neighbour and one facility is the visible part of a business whose real scale is in somebody else's cloud.
• Two named role contacts on a single record is more registry hygiene than most networks of this size manage.
