AS15508 — NOVOSOFT-AS

AS15508 announces 3 IPv4 prefixes covering 2,560 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

All three netnames are the same registry object identifier, in a field meant for a description.

What it's used for

• A software company's network. Three IPv4 prefixes announced from the Russian Federation, no IPv6, two and a half thousand addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• Every block's netname is the holder's organisation handle, ending in the registry's own name, rather than anything describing the network.
• Because all three carry the identical value, the netname distinguishes nothing at all.
• The registrants are consistent, naming an operations centre and the company itself.
• The holder's name pairs a transliterated word with a corporate abbreviation, so half the name is a translation and half is not.
• Nine addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• An organisation handle in a netname field is a form filled in with the value from the field above it. Nothing validates the shape of a netname, so the mistake survives as long as the registration does.
• Three blocks from three unrelated ranges, none adjacent, means three routing table entries where the network could not merge them even if it wanted to.
• One upstream for a company that builds software for others is worth noting: the network is a place to work from, not a service being sold, and it is only reachable while that one link holds.
