About this network

Four registrants, two reverse-name domains, and one that keeps the address dots intact.

What it's used for

• A regional broadband provider's network. Six IPv4 blocks and one IPv6 /32 announced from the United States, with fourteen observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The six IPv4 blocks split across four registrants: two to the holder as OMEGA-TX1 and OMEGA-TX2, two to a municipal utility, one to 360 Broadband, LLC and one to a fibre holding company.
• The utility's two blocks carry a registrant field holding three entries joined by semicolons, the organisation plus an abuse contact and an operations centre.
• Reverse names answer under two domains. One uses conventional labels such as dhcp10-254 and cpeb7-255; the other writes the address with its dots left in, as 66.209.36.0.903bb.com.
• Four of eighteen sampled addresses answered.

Interesting

• That dotted form is the unusual one. Keeping the periods turns the address into four separate DNS labels rather than one, so the name is five levels deep instead of two, and anything splitting the name on dots to find the domain gets the wrong answer.
• The other domain's labels name the assignment mechanism and the customer equipment, which is a real disclosure about how each address is handed out.
• Four registrants under one AS is an acquisition trail. Each block kept the name of whoever held it when it arrived, and the routing is the only thing that unifies them.
• Fourteen upstreams is a genuinely well connected regional carrier.
