About this network

A volunteer radio society announcing part of the range set aside for amateur packet networks.

What it's used for

• An amateur radio association's network. One IPv4 /21 and three IPv6 prefixes announced from Luxembourg, two thousand and forty-eight addresses, through a single observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The IPv4 block sits inside the range reserved decades ago for amateur radio digital networks, and its netname is that range's own name.
• The registrant is not the announcing society but the foundation that administers the whole range on behalf of operators everywhere.
• The three IPv6 prefixes are a /44 and two /43s from one allocation, so the association has far more IPv6 space than IPv4.
• The routing archive first saw this number more than a decade after the numbers around it.
• The holder's legal form is the abbreviation for a non-profit association, written with full stops.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• The amateur range is the oldest surviving example of address space held in common. It was set aside for hobbyists before addresses were scarce, is administered by a foundation rather than a company, and pieces of it are lent to national societies who route them themselves.
• One neighbour and two thousand addresses is what a hobby network looks like from outside: a single connection to the rest of the internet, kept up by volunteers.
