About this network

A netname in mixed case, which almost never happens in this field.

What it's used for

• A cantonal bank's network. A single IPv4 /22 announced from Switzerland, no IPv6, a thousand addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The netname is the bank's abbreviation with a lower case letter inside it, where the convention in this field is capitals throughout.
• The AS handle carries the city and the country after the abbreviation, separated by a comma, which is postal formatting in a network identifier.
• The registrant list names a third party for address management before the bank itself, so the registry work is outsourced.
• That third party's own name is written with a lower case brand followed by a capitalised corporate form.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Publishing nothing in reverse across a thousand addresses is the ordinary choice for a bank. The network exists to reach outward, and reverse names would only describe what is inside it.
• One upstream for a financial institution reads as thin, but a bank with a single announced block is usually reachable through paths that never appear in routing data at all.
• The outsourced address management is the detail worth keeping. The bank owns the addresses and someone else maintains the paperwork, which is where registry records go stale.
