About this network

The same carrier writes this block's address backwards in one system and forwards in another.

What it's used for

• A recognition and awards products company's network. 256 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The whole footprint is 74.204.36.0/24, carrying the netname USSIG-0-36-204-74-24 and registered to the company itself.
• That netname lists the four parts of the address in reverse order, then the prefix length.
• All three sampled addresses answer as customer-74-204-36-64.host.ussignalcom.net and similar, listing the same parts in the usual order.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and all three returned a name.

Interesting

• Both strings are generated by the same carrier from the same input, and they disagree on which end to start from. Reverse order is how addresses are written in the DNS itself, so one system took its convention from the naming tree and the other from how people read addresses aloud.
• The carrier's prefix leads the netname while the customer registration names the company, so the block is the company's while every label on it belongs to the provider.
• The reverse DNS marks every address as a customer host rather than naming the business, which is the standard template for a provider serving many small blocks.
• Two upstreams on a single carrier-labelled block is more redundancy than the naming suggests.
