AS15071 announces 4 IPv4 prefixes covering 2,816 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The AS handle names the routing protocol it speaks.

What it's used for

• A logistics company's network. Four IPv4 blocks announced from the United States, no IPv6, and two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The AS handle is BAX-BGP, naming the protocol inside the identifier rather than anything about the organisation or its location.
• All four blocks carry the identical netname BAXGLOBAL and are registered to the holder.
• All four are cut from the same parent range, and they are scattered rather than contiguous: two small pieces sit near the bottom of it, one at the start and one far up.
• The routing history begins in 2001.
• Twelve addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Naming the protocol in the handle is redundant twice over. Every AS number exists to speak that protocol, and the field it sits in already says so. It reads like a label from an internal system where the AS record needed distinguishing from something else the same team owned.
• Four scattered announcements from one parent means the holder has more space than it routes. The gaps between them are either used somewhere else, held in reserve, or simply not in service, and nothing in the routing distinguishes those cases.
• One netname across every block leaves the registry unable to tell them apart. That is a choice for simplicity, and it costs nothing until two blocks need different handling.
• Two upstreams and no reverse names anywhere in the sample.
