About this network

Half the blocks list an abuse role and no organisation at all.

What it's used for

• A government ministry's network. Four IPv4 prefixes announced from Oman, no IPv6, one thousand two hundred and eighty addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Two of the four blocks name only an abuse role as their registrant. No company, no ministry, no department appears on either.
• Those two use netnames from a different abbreviation than the other two, one with a numeric suffix and one with a two-letter one.
• The other two blocks carry a country code, the holder abbreviation and an allocation date, and list the ministry together with a contact whose name ends in the abbreviation for a local registry.
• The AS handle is three letters that mean several other things, with nothing to tie it to the holder.
• Twelve addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A registrant field holding only an abuse role is the registry's minimum viable record. Someone can still be contacted, and there is no way to tell from the record who owns the addresses.
• The two netname families point at two separate registrations that ended up under one number. The dated pair was filed together; the undated pair has no filing date recorded anywhere.
• One thousand two hundred and eighty addresses across four blocks, with the largest a /23, is a ministry that grew its allocation a piece at a time.
