AS15808 announces 6 IPv4 prefixes covering 86,016 addresses and 2 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Half the reverse names sit on a misspelled version of the company's own domain, and the AS name ends in a video game cheat code.

What it's used for

• A provider's network. Sixty-seven IPv4 prefixes and two IPv6 /32s announced from Kenya, eighty-six thousand and sixteen addresses, across thirty-six observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Eight answering names use the company's domain. Four more use the same name with one letter dropped, on a different top-level domain, and those four resolve just as well as the correct ones.
• Both forms write the four octets in forward order with the dots kept, so each octet is its own label.
• One further name belongs to a customer's mail server on an unrelated domain.
• The AS name string ends in a five-character token best known as a cheat code from a nineteen-nineties shooting game, followed by the two letters for an autonomous system.
• The AS handle runs on into a prose sentence describing the company, and the sentence is cut off mid-clause.
• Every netname is the same organisation handle generated by the registry, so no block has a name of its own. One block's lookup failed.
• Of eighteen addresses queried, twelve returned a name.

Interesting

• A typo in a reverse zone is normally invisible, because nobody reads reverse names and nothing checks them against the forward ones. Here it was registered as a real domain and wired up, so the mistake has been serving answers for years.
