About this network

Every reverse name writes the address backwards, under a domain the registry never mentions.

What it's used for

• A rural telephone company's network. Five IPv4 prefixes announced from the United States, no IPv6, and three observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• All four answering addresses are named with their octets in reverse order, last octet first, under a short domain belonging to none of the parties on record.
• The five blocks share one four letter stem across four different netname formats: the stem alone, the stem with a block abbreviation and counter, and the stem with the word net and the address, twice.
• Every block is registered to the same company, so the four formats record four separate visits to the registry rather than four different owners.
• Fifteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and four returned a name.
• Eleven thousand addresses across five routes.

Interesting

• Reversed octets in reverse DNS are technically natural, since that is the order the lookup itself uses, and confusing for everyone reading logs afterwards. Two networks in this range do it and both are small carriers.
• A fourth domain in the names points at a shared operations arrangement. Small telephone companies often pool their internet operations, and the domain that answers is the pool's rather than the member's.
• Eleven thousand addresses for a rural exchange is generous by modern standards and ordinary for a carrier that has held space since the early allocations.
