AS15301 — IOVATION

AS15301 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 512 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The netname describes a block half the size of the one actually announced.

What it's used for

• A credit bureau's network, named after an acquired fraud detection company. A single IPv4 /23 announced from the United States, no IPv6, and one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The netname ends in a prefix length of twenty-four while the route carried in the routing table is a /23, so the registry records half of what is announced.
• The AS handle names the acquired brand and, in one registry's record, appends this AS number to it.
• The registrant is the parent company, which appears nowhere in the handle or the netname.
• Routing history for this number begins in 2007, later than most of its numeric neighbours.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A netname naming a smaller block than the announcement usually means the allocation was extended and the label was never rewritten. It matters, because tools that trust the netname will resolve only half the addresses to this organisation.
• Every identifying field here points at a different name: the handle at a fraud detection product, the registrant at a credit bureau, and neither at the other.
• Five hundred and twelve addresses behind one upstream, for a company holding financial records on most of a country's adults, is a small and singular public footprint.
