About this network

The AS handle names a router role rather than the organisation's purpose.

What it's used for

• A community organisation's network. A single IPv4 /24 announced from the United States, no IPv6, and one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The AS handle is three initials, the word border and a counter, so it names the role of the router that runs the routing session.
• The netname truncates the organisation's first word to six letters and appends a three digit number that matches nothing else in the record.
• The registrant is the only field giving the organisation's name in full.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
• Routing history for this number begins in 2001.

Interesting

• Naming a handle after the border router is an engineer's view of the world: the AS number belongs to the box that speaks BGP, not to the organisation behind it. The counter implies a second such router, which would be the sensible design and is not visible from outside.
• A number appended to a truncated name is a registry's way of disambiguating between organisations whose names collide once shortened. It is a sequence number, not a meaningful identifier.
• One block, one upstream and nothing in reverse leaves the registry as the only description of this network that anybody outside it can read.
