About this network

A town's AS number over a carrier's block, labelled with the carrier's own geography.

What it's used for

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

Notable

• The announced block is registered to a cable carrier, not to the town, under the netname BOSTON-CCS-1.
• That netname names a city and a carrier product line, so it describes the supplier's regional organisation rather than the customer or the location of the addresses.
• The AS handle is TOR-CCONNECT-01: the town's initials, a service name and a counter.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
• The routing history begins in 2002.

Interesting

• Netnames from large carriers describe the carrier's own internal geography, and anything reading them as a location for the addresses will land in the wrong place. This record is a compact example: the holder is a town and the netname names a city, and neither field is wrong on its own terms.
• A counter in the AS handle implies a second one somewhere, which for a municipality usually means separate routing for a school district or a public safety network.
• The town holds no addresses of its own. Everything it announces belongs to the carrier, so the AS number buys route control without independence: change carriers and the addresses go back.
