About this network

The netname is a newspaper's title, which is also what the country calls itself.

What it's used for

• A media group's network. A single IPv4 /19 announced from Poland, no IPv6, eight thousand addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The netname is a country code, a long word that is the title of a national daily newspaper, and the allocation date.
• That word is also the country's own constitutional name for itself, so the field reads as a place name to anyone who does not know the paper.
• The AS handle and the registrant both use the publishing group's current corporate name, which shares nothing with the netname.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
• Eight thousand addresses in one announcement, through one upstream.

Interesting

• Newspapers were early to the internet and were allocated address space accordingly. A /19 for a publisher is a size that would not be granted today.
• The netname preserves the masthead through whatever changes of ownership the company has been through, which makes the registry a more stable record of what the space is for than the company name is.
• One upstream for a national newspaper's infrastructure is worth noting. Publishing is a business where being unreachable during a news event is the only failure that counts.
