About this network

The AS handle describes the company as an internet technology firm, and misspells technology.

What it's used for

• A regional provider and hosting company. Seven IPv4 prefixes announced from Italy, no IPv6, five thousand addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The AS handle ends with a description of the business, and the word for technology is missing a letter.
• Six of the seven blocks share one allocation date; the seventh is seventeen years later, so nearly all this address space arrived at once and one block was added much later.
• Every netname and the reverse domain use an older brand, while the registrant on all seven blocks is a differently named company.
• One answering address is ATM1-0-75.GW2.VI1.DSL.nsoft.it, which names a switch interface, a gateway number, a site code and a subscriber line technology, all in capitals.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and two returned a name.

Interesting

• That one reverse name is a fossil. It describes an access technology and a switching layer that a network built today would not use, and it survived because nobody had a reason to change it.
• Two names for one company across every record is what a rebrand or acquisition looks like years afterwards, when the paperwork changed and the DNS did not.
• Two of eighteen addresses answering, with the rest silent, means most of this space is in use without any public naming behind it.
