About this network

The AS handle begins with this network's own number, written out in full.

What it's used for

• A national internet exchange point's own network. One IPv4 /22 announced from Ukraine, no IPv6, one thousand and twenty-four addresses, across twenty-seven observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The AS handle starts with the letters and digits of this very AS number, then a two-letter legal form abbreviation, then the exchange's full name and its short form.
• The holder record keeps the quotation marks and brackets from the organisation's registered name; the handle drops both.
• Twenty-seven neighbours behind one thousand addresses is the ratio of a meeting point rather than a network with customers.
• The single block carries the country code, the exchange's short name and an allocation date.
• Routing records first show this number about fifteen years after the numbers around it appeared.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• An exchange point needs almost no address space of its own. A thousand addresses covers the switching fabric, the route servers and the management network, and nothing else.
• Putting the AS number inside the handle is redundant, but here it is the only field that ties the routing identity to the organisation without a lookup.
• A number this low first appearing in routing so recently means it sat unused for years before the exchange took it up.
