AS15297 — EPLUS-ASN
AS15297 announces 5 IPv4 prefixes covering 3,072 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.
About this network
Three netname conventions from three eras, and one that names a range of third octets.
What it's used for
- A technology reseller and services company's network. Five IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 /48 announced from the United States, across three observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Two blocks carry a netname naming the company, the protocol version, the word block and a counter, the most self describing label here.
- Two more use a retired carrier's two letter prefix with the address and a letter and digit suffix, a convention that appears on several unrelated networks in this range.
- The fifth is registered to a large carrier under UUNETCBLK176-179, which names a range of third octets rather than any single block.
- The company's name is recorded in two forms, one with the corporate form in capitals and one without.
- Fifteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- A netname covering a span of octets is a record from when carriers registered whole swathes at once and cut customer blocks out of them afterwards. The label describes the parent, not this block.
- Three conventions across five blocks reads as three purchases: two from a carrier that no longer exists under that name, one still held by its successor, and two the company registered itself.
- Marking the protocol version in an IPv4 netname makes sense only if IPv6 was expected, and the single /48 here shows it arrived.
