About this network

Every field in the record says the same thing, which is rarer than it sounds.

What it's used for

• A wireless internet provider's network. 256 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The AS handle, the netname and the registrant all carry the company's name in the same form.
• The whole footprint is 130.51.161.0/24.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
• One observed neighbour.

Interesting

• Most records in this range disagree with themselves somewhere: a truncation here, a former parent company there, a carrier's template overwriting the customer's name. This one does not. Three systems maintained by different parties all spell the operator identically, which means nobody renamed, merged or resold anything after the paperwork was filed.
• The address block sits in a range issued long before the small allocations further up this sweep, and holding one as a small wireless operator usually means it came through an early assignment rather than a recent purchase.
• Wireless providers serve customers over radio links from a handful of tower sites, so a single small block is enough when subscriber addresses come out of private space behind it.
• One upstream means the whole subscriber base rides a single path.
