AS14860 — AS-SMARTCOM

Network type: residential

AS14860 announces 23 IPv4 prefixes covering 40,448 addresses and 3 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Half the estate is registered to school districts and other companies, and the provider's own reverse names moved to a second domain partway through.

What it's used for

• A regional telephone company's broadband network. 40,448 addresses across 28 IPv4 prefixes plus three IPv6 prefixes, with 23 observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Six blocks carry SMARTCOM-TELEPHONE, registered to SMARTCOM TELEPHONE, LLC, most listing an AUP Enforcement Team alongside the company.
• The rest belong to other organisations. ESC1-ISP-NETWORK is registered to Region One Education Service Center, UNITEDISD to United Independent School District, SBCISD-NET to San Benito Consolidated Independent School District, ASHTON-ROW to Ashton Systems Corporation, COBA-HEADEND-01 to Coba Systems and TWIN01 to WIRELESS INTERNET CORPORATION.
• Seven of eighteen sampled addresses returned a name, under two domains: 64-88-207-255-smartcom.sc2000.net and 173-209-71-255-smartcom.sctel.co.
• The education service center's block names its own addresses user.148.0.esc1.net.

Interesting

• A registrant field carrying AUP Enforcement Team records a function rather than a person, which is how a provider publishes an abuse channel without exposing anyone by name.
• Two domains, identical label format. The word smartcom still sits inside every label, so the generator survived the move and only the suffix changed. Renaming a zone is cheap; regenerating every label is not.
• The education block writes the last two octets forwards and calls its addresses user, a scheme belonging to whoever runs that network rather than to the AS announcing it.
• An ISP whose routed space is mostly other people's is a wholesale operation. The customers keep their registrations and buy transit; the AS is the road, not the destination.
