AS15511 — LB-ICONNECT

AS15511 announces 3 IPv4 prefixes covering 1,792 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The reverse names drop two octets, so three different addresses can share one name.

What it's used for

• An internet provider. Three IPv4 prefixes announced from Lebanon, no IPv6, nearly two thousand addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• Five of the six answering addresses are named with a digit, two letters, the first octet and the last octet. The second and third octets are left out entirely.
• Two of the three blocks overlap in their last octet range, so addresses in different blocks would produce identical names under that scheme.
• The sixth name uses a different leading digit and substitutes the third octet for the first, so two incompatible schemes run in the same zone.
• Every name sits under a domain unrelated to the company's registered name.
• Nine addresses were queried for reverse DNS and six returned a name.

Interesting

• A reverse name that cannot uniquely identify the address it belongs to defeats the purpose of the record. Anyone tracing a connection back gets a name that fits several addresses at once.
• The leading digit is probably the distinguishing part, indexing the block, but it is one character doing work that two omitted octets would do unambiguously.
• Three blocks acquired across two allocation dates, with one upstream and no IPv6, is a provider still running on the shape it started with.
