About this network

Three netnames say what the addresses are for: traffic, routing, and a numbered route server.

What it's used for

• A connectivity provider. Eight IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 /32 announced from Germany, seventeen thousand addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Three blocks are named for their function rather than for a customer or a date: one for traffic, one as the routing network, and one as a numbered route server.
• Those three list only an abuse role as registrant, with no company or technical contact.
• The other five follow the country code, company name and allocation date convention, with dates spanning fourteen years.
• Five routes together cover one contiguous stretch of address space in four different sizes.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Naming a block after the route server it holds is a useful disclosure for other operators and a small map for anyone else. It says which addresses carry the control plane rather than customer traffic.
• The numbered route server implies at least one more. Numbering starts somewhere, and here it is visible from a netname alone.
• Function-named blocks with no owner listed are usually the operator's own infrastructure, filed once and never touched, because nobody sells them to anyone.
