AS15284 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 2,048 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The registry records one block; the routing table shows three that add up to it exactly.

What it's used for

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

Notable

• All three blocks share the netname 8-39-176-0-21, which describes a single larger allocation.
• The three announced routes are a /22 and two /23 blocks, and they tile that allocation with nothing left over and nothing overlapping.
• Announcing them separately uses three entries in the global routing table where one would do, and every network on the internet carries all three.
• Nine addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
• The registrant drops the corporate form that the AS handle's description keeps.

Interesting

• Splitting an allocation into its component routes is usually done to steer traffic: different pieces can leave by different upstreams, and with three neighbours there is somewhere for them to go.
• The netname is the honest record here. It names the allocation as it was issued, so the difference between it and the announcements is the operator's routing policy made visible.
• The blocks sit in one of the oldest parts of the address space, which is consistent with a company that bought from a large carrier early and has kept the same range since.
