About this network

A retired carrier's initials, an address, and a code nobody can read.

What it's used for

• An investment manager's network. A single IPv4 /24 announced from the United States, no IPv6, and two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The netname is UU-65-217-191-D6: two letters from a carrier brand that has not existed under that name for a long time, the first three octets of the block, and a two-character code.
• The block is nonetheless registered to the holder rather than to that carrier.
• All three sampled addresses answered, in the form host64.ioniccap.com, under the holder's own domain.
• Those names use the final octet alone as the label, so they are unique only within this one block.
• The routing history begins in 2000.

Interesting

• The netname and the reverse names disagree about who runs this space. One was written by a carrier that no longer exists under that name; the other is published by the holder today. Both are live, and the older one is the one the registry serves.
• Naming hosts by their last octet is the most compact address-derived scheme in this range. It reads well and it silently assumes there will never be a second block, because the labels would collide the moment there is.
• The two-character suffix on the netname is not derivable from anything else in the record, so it belongs to the issuing carrier's own sequence.
• One block and two upstreams, for a firm that publishes host names but nothing about what they do.
