AS15434 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 768 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

One netname names a village and a carrier interconnect; the other has an underscore in it.

What it's used for

• A regional provider. Two IPv4 prefixes announced from Germany, no IPv6, seven hundred and sixty-eight addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The first netname combines the company, two letters, an abbreviation for a network-to-network interface, and the name of a small town, so it records exactly where one interconnect lands.
• The second is the company name twice in mixed case joined by an underscore, a character the convention for these fields does not usually admit.
• Neither registrant field names an organisation. Both list only a role for abuse.
• All three answering addresses give the four octets fully reversed and padded to three digits each, under a subdomain that is an abbreviation for the words internet protocol address.
• Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and three returned a name.

Interesting

• Naming a village in a netname is more precise than most operators are willing to be. It says which building the circuit terminates in, to anyone who reads the field.
• Reversing and padding the octets makes every name the same length, which sorts and aligns neatly in logs. It also makes the name unreadable to a person at a glance.
• The AS handle names a whole region while the netname names one town, so the ambition and the current footprint sit side by side in the same record.
