About this network

The netnames are a facility inventory, and one of them misspells the word internet.

What it's used for

• A consumer goods manufacturer's network. Seven IPv4 prefixes announced from Germany, no IPv6, four and a half thousand addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Four netnames follow one internal scheme: company initials, a region, a three letter site code, then what the block is for and a counter. They name name servers, address translation, and a private zone.
• One of those four spells internet with an extra letter, a typo preserved in a public database.
• The registrant on all four is that same site code rather than a company, so the accountable party is a location.
• The other three netnames append the block's own first octet to the company name and are registered to the parent company with its ampersand written out as a word.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Netnames that state a function tell an outsider which addresses run the name servers and which perform address translation, before a single packet is sent. That is internal documentation published by accident.
• Routing history for this number begins in 2013, which is late. The address space is far older, so the blocks were carried under someone else's number first.
• A manufacturer this large having only two upstreams and four thousand addresses shows how little of a corporation actually faces the internet.
