About this network

A submarine cable carrier with three hundred and eighty neighbours, carrying blocks from another region's registry.

What it's used for

• A long distance carrier built around undersea cable. Twenty-two IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 /32 announced from the United Kingdom, thirty-three thousand addresses, across three hundred and eighty observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Five blocks use the carrier's own netname pattern of country code, company and allocation date, with an abuse role naming the group that acquired it.
• Six more are customer blocks registered in a different region's registry, each with a two letter country suffix and an incident response team object, a convention that registry uses and the other does not.
• One block is registered to the carrier's arm in a third country.
• Two answering addresses combine a word for delivery with their octets under a domain about network management; a third puts the address fully reversed under a domain about computing analysis.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and three returned a name.

Interesting

• Three hundred and eighty neighbours is the number that matters. That is a carrier whose business is carrying other networks' traffic between continents, and it dwarfs its own address holdings.
• Mixing two registries' conventions inside one routing table is what selling capacity across regions looks like in the data.
• The generic domains on the answering addresses say very little about who is behind them, which is itself a choice worth noticing.
