About this network

The AS handle is a street address, written in two languages at once.

What it's used for

• A regional public sector information technology centre. One IPv4 /19 and two IPv6 prefixes announced from Belgium, eight thousand addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The handle field holds a postal address rather than a name: one street, given in both of the region's official languages joined by a hyphen, followed by a building number.
• The netname pairs the country code with a four letter abbreviation and its equivalent in the other language, then a six digit date.
• The registrant field names that bilingual abbreviation as a technical contact and the organisation's current single word name separately, so the record spans a rebranding.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
• Two IPv6 prefixes against one IPv4 block.

Interesting

• Officially bilingual administration shows up in the smallest places. Two of the three identifiers here carry both languages, because using one alone is a political choice.
• A street address in a name field is the most literal answer to where a network is that a registry ever gives. It is also the one field nobody will think to check.
• Announcing more IPv6 than IPv4 is the right shape for a public body building for the next decade rather than the last one.
