About this network

A netname that spells the whole block out, under a handle that names the company it used to be.

What it's used for

• A voice-services network. Four IPv4 /24 blocks and one IPv6 prefix announced from the United States, with three observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The AS handle is STAR2STAR while the registrant on every block that resolved is Sangoma, so the handle preserves the acquired brand and the address records carry the acquirer.
• One netname is RGTS-TELEK-IP-66-43-105-0: two abbreviations that belong to neither company in the record, the string IP, and the full network address with its dots turned into dashes.
• Another block sits under STAR2STAR-COMMUNICATIONS, the old name again, in full this time.
• Two of the four registry lookups failed, so nothing can be said about who holds those blocks.
• Twelve addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Writing the entire network address into the netname is the most literal version of a habit that runs through this whole range. It is accurate on the day it is written and it survives the reassignment that makes it wrong, because nothing in the registry checks a name against the object it names.
• Three identifiers for one company, in three fields, is the ordinary cost of an acquisition. Anyone matching this network by name has to know all three strings mean the same operator, and the record never says so.
