About this network

A payments processor whose network also carries a newspaper's editorial system.

What it's used for

• A payment processing company's network. 2,816 addresses across six IPv4 prefixes, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• All six blocks carry the same netname, 64-178-192-0, which names a parent block that none of them begin at.
• Two of eighteen sampled addresses answered: bpac-sbc1.evertecinc.com and newseditpro.elvocero.evertecinc.com.
• Every announcement falls within one contiguous region of address space.

Interesting

• The second hostname is three layers deep and each layer says something: a newspaper's masthead sits under the processor's own domain, and the machine under it is an editorial production system. A company that handles card transactions for an island's banks also runs the presses' computers, which is what happens when one firm ends up being the region's IT department.
• The first hostname ends in an abbreviation for a session border controller, the device that sits between a phone system and the outside world. Two answering addresses, two entirely different businesses.
• Naming every block after the parent allocation is the most honest netname scheme available: it says these are all pieces of one grant, and it makes the individual records indistinguishable from each other.
• One upstream for a payments processor is a single point of failure that the business has evidently decided it can live with, or has covered by means the routing table cannot see.
