About this network

Netnames that are town names, and a registrant field whose parts change order between blocks.

What it's used for

• A rural telephone and internet provider. Twelve IPv4 prefixes announced from the United States, no IPv6, and three observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The netnames are place names rather than codes: NEW-PRAGUE, PINE-ISLAND, BLUE-EARTH, LONSDALE and INDIANHEAD, one per serving area.
• Two blocks carry the names of other companies as registrants, one under HCCTEL-BLK-2, which is what acquired exchanges look like in the registry years later.
• Every registrant field joins the company to its operations and abuse contacts with semicolons, and the two contacts swap order between blocks, so the field holds a set that something printed as a list.
• Eight of eighteen sampled addresses answered, all in the form 76.164.136.0.bevcomm.net, with the address dots left intact so the name runs five labels deep.

Interesting

• Naming address blocks after the towns they serve is the most readable convention in this range and the most revealing. The netnames alone map the company's footprint, exchange by exchange, including the ones it bought.
• The reordered contact list is the same defect seen on larger holders here: whatever generates these records has no stable order for the parts, so string comparison between two blocks of one company reports a difference that is not there.
