About this network

The AS handle spells the whole institution out, word for word, in hyphens.

What it's used for

• An agri-food technology institute's network. A single IPv4 /23 announced from Canada, no IPv6, and one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The AS handle is the institution's complete name with every word joined by hyphens, the longest handle seen anywhere in this range.
• The netname is the opposite extreme: a four-letter acronym of that same name, with nothing appended.
• The registrant repeats the full name a third time, so the record holds the longest and shortest possible forms of one string.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
• Five hundred addresses behind a single upstream is the whole footprint.

Interesting

• Handles are meant to be short identifiers, and this one is a sentence. It works, which shows the field has no practical limit, and it is unusable in the places handles actually appear, which is why nobody else does it.
• Between the handle and the netname there is no middle form. Anything matching these records has to cope with an acronym and its full expansion being equally authoritative, with no rule connecting them.
• One block and one upstream: a small institution routing its own space so that its addresses outlast its provider contracts.
