AS14885 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 256 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The netname names one state and the reverse DNS names another, twice.

What it's used for

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

Notable

• The whole footprint is 66.210.77.0/24, carrying the netname NETBLK-WI-OHFC-66-210-77-0 and registered to a cable carrier.
• The two letters after the prefix in that netname are a state abbreviation.
• All three sampled addresses answer as wsip-66-210-77-64.ks.ks.cox.net and similar, with a different state abbreviation repeated twice in the same hostname.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and all three returned a name.

Interesting

• Two carrier systems disagree about where this block is. The registry record says one state; the reverse DNS says another, and says it twice because the template has slots for region and city and the same value was fed into both.
• The doubled label is a template running without the data it expects, which is the same failure that produces placeholder hostnames elsewhere in this range. Here it produces something that reads as intentional and is not.
• Neither field names the printing company, so this business is identifiable only through the AS record, while its addresses answer with a cable provider's residential naming scheme.
• Two upstreams over a single carrier-owned block gives path diversity without any address independence.
