AS15549 — Astana, Kazakhstan

AS15549 announces 7 IPv4 prefixes covering 3,072 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

One netname names a supercomputer; four blocks name no owner at all.

What it's used for

• A state technology company's network. Seven IPv4 prefixes announced from Kazakhstan, no IPv6, three thousand addresses, across eight observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Three blocks share one netname built from the country code, a word for a banking network and a six-digit date with a two-digit year.
• The other four each have a one-off netname with underscores: one naming a supercomputing facility, one a corporate network, one an investment project, and one a short code.
• Those same four list only an abuse role as registrant, with no company named, so more than half the blocks have no owner in the registry.
• All seven come from one range, split into sizes from a /22 down to four separate /24 prefixes.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A banking network name from the nineties now held by a state technology company is a transfer of function written into a field nobody updates. The network changed hands and the label did not.
• Naming a supercomputing facility in a netname is a small disclosure with real value to anyone mapping which addresses matter.
• Routing history first records this network more than a decade after the numbers around it appeared, which means the number is considerably older than its use.
