About this network

The subscriber names count addresses from the start of the block, and the numbers check out.

What it's used for

• The islands' incumbent telephone and internet operator. Twelve IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 /32 announced from the Faroe Islands, thirty-one thousand addresses, across seventy-nine observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Three answering addresses are named with a word for dynamic, an abbreviation for customer premises equipment, and a number that is exactly that address's offset from the start of its block.
• Those names sit under a domain that is the word for the access technology under the islands' own top level domain.
• Eleven netnames follow one pattern of country code, company and allocation date; the twelfth uses the local word for broadband instead.
• Four separate blocks carry the identical date, so they were allocated together and announced apart.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and four returned a name.

Interesting

• Seventy-nine neighbours for a population this small is the striking number. Island operators interconnect widely because every path off the rock matters more than it would inland.
• The offset counter is a neat piece of engineering: the name is derived from the address arithmetically, so the zone needs no database and never drifts out of step with reality.
• One netname in the local language among eleven in the registry's working language is a small assertion that this is a national operator, not a branch office.
