AS14862 — OCEANEERING
AS14862 announces 4 IPv4 prefixes covering 1,280 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.
About this network
The registry says which block is the data centre and which is the fallback site.
What it's used for
- A subsea engineering company's network. 1,280 addresses across four IPv4 prefixes, with three observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- 172.99.168.0/23 carries the netname OII-HOUSTON-DATACENTER and 198.54.171.0/24 carries OII-DISASTER-RECOVERY.
- The other two blocks carry netnames that are only their own addresses with dashes, 65-124-70-0-24 and 208-46-106-0-24.
- The company's name is written in capitals on the two descriptive records and in mixed case on the two generated ones.
- Twelve addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Two of these records were typed by somebody at the company who knew what the blocks were for, and two were generated by a tool that had only the address to work with. The capitalisation splits the same way, which confirms the split rather than merely suggesting it.
- Publishing which range is the recovery site is more than most organisations would choose to say. It tells anyone reading where to look when the main site is unreachable, and it dates from a time when the registry was treated as an operational notebook rather than a public document.
- Three upstreams for a company whose work happens on vessels and offshore platforms fits a business where the link back to shore matters more than the size of the network.
- The absence of any published reverse names keeps the estate itself opaque.
