Network type: hosting

About this network

The one published hostname names two IPv6 transition mechanisms at once.

What it's used for

• A hosting provider's network. 256 IPv4 addresses in a single prefix alongside an IPv6 /40, with one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• One sampled address answers as nat64-464xlat-190.peckservers.com, naming two mechanisms for carrying IPv4 traffic across an IPv6 network.
• The IPv4 block is 23.136.84.0/24, carrying the netname PECKSERVERS-WEBHOSTING.
• The IPv6 block is 2602:f6af::/40.
• The holder record and the AS handle both end in a routing suffix rather than a product one.

Interesting

• The IPv6 allocation is enormous next to the IPv4 one: a /40 against 256 addresses. That ratio is the whole point of the hostname, since a network with that much IPv6 and that little IPv4 needs translation to reach the older half of the internet at all.
• Naming a host after the translation stack it runs is unusually candid. Most operators hide this layer behind generic labels, and finding it spelled out means the operator treats it as infrastructure worth labelling rather than a workaround worth hiding.
• Three fields describe three different things about the same company: routing in the holder record, routing in the handle, web hosting in the netname.
• One upstream for a hosting provider is the constraint the address plan cannot work around.
