AS15082 — OMEG-LCN

AS15082 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 256 addresses and 2 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

More IPv6 prefixes than IPv4, and one of them sits inside the other.

What it's used for

• A small network announcing from the United States: one IPv4 /24 alongside two IPv6 prefixes, with a single observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The IPv6 announcements are 2602:f78b:a00::/44 and 2602:f78b:a32::/47, and the second is contained in the first, so the same addresses are announced twice at two different lengths.
• The AS handle is OMEG-LCN while the netname on the only IPv4 block is OMEG-NET-4. The two share four letters and then diverge into codes that come from different places.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
• The routing history begins in 2000.

Interesting

• Announcing a more-specific prefix alongside the block that already covers it is ordinary traffic engineering, and seeing it on a network with one upstream is the odd part. With a single neighbour there is nothing to steer between, so the split is either left over from an arrangement that ended or preparation for one that has not started.
• A network with more IPv6 announcements than IPv4 ones is rare enough in this range to be worth recording, even when the count is two against one.
• The trailing -4 on the netname is the kind of counter that means nothing outside the office that issued it, which is the usual state of these fields.
