About this network

Twelve of fifteen answers are a default placeholder that calls itself localhost.

What it's used for

• A hosting provider's network. Eleven IPv4 prefixes announced from the United States, no IPv6, and three observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Fifteen of eighteen sampled addresses answered, and twelve of those returned undefined.hostname.localhost, a factory default rather than a name for the machine.
• The three real answers sit under a domain whose second label is the word for the lookup itself, and two of them append a marker identifying the address as the broadcast address of its subnet.
• Six netnames cover eleven blocks: two forms registered to a differently named company, and three that number the type word rather than the name, as NETBLK-EZZI, NETBLK2-EZZI and NETBLK3-EZZI.
• The AS handle ends in the name of the routing protocol.

Interesting

• A placeholder reverse name is worse than none. It answers, so anything checking that a name exists passes; it claims to be a loopback name, so anything checking that the name resolves back to the address fails. The middle ground is where address reputation systems make their worst decisions.
• Numbering the word for netblock instead of the network's name produces identifiers where the counter attaches to the wrong half. Sorting them groups the type word and scatters the operator.
• Publishing which addresses are broadcast addresses is a small map of the network's internal subnet boundaries, offered to anyone who samples the zone.
