About this network

One netname records the exact minute the record was created; another is cut off mid-word.

What it's used for

• An electronics distributor's network. 2,816 addresses across six IPv4 prefixes, with six observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• 149.17.3.0/24 carries the netname ATTCUST-MX-AVNET-20240509-2050, a carrier prefix, the company, a date and a time.
• 12.9.136.0/22 carries AVNETCO43-136, registered to AVNETCO TANGOE CONTENT MANAG, a name that stops mid-word.
• Two blocks carry PREMIER-INDUST and are registered to Newark Corporation.
• 64.240.230.0/23 carries SAVV-AVNET-1, naming a carrier that has not traded under that name in many years.

Interesting

• A netname carrying a timestamp to the minute is generated, not written. Somewhere in that carrier's provisioning system, a script builds an identifier from the customer, the service type and the clock, and the result is now a permanent public record of when a circuit was configured.
• The truncated registrant is the same field limit that mangles names throughout this range, here cutting a third-party expense management vendor's contribution off in the middle of a word.
• One acquired company's netname and one acquired company's registrant survive under a group that bought both. Address records are where corporate history goes to be preserved by accident.
• Six neighbours and nothing published in reverse DNS: a distributor with real connectivity requirements and no public services on its own space.
