AS15866 — AS-PEGASUS Bayernstrasse 10

AS15866 announces 3 IPv4 prefixes covering 7,168 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The handle is a street name and a house number; the old company name survives as a lower-case contact.

What it's used for

• An IT services company's network. Three IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 /48 announced from Germany, seven thousand one hundred and sixty-eight addresses, through a single observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The AS handle is the two letters for an autonomous system, a mythological brand, then a street name and a house number.
• Every block lists the current company in capitals and mixed case, and beside it the old brand with a legal form, both written entirely in lower case.
• The netnames are a country code, that same brand with a digit, and one of three dates spread over five years.
• The IPv6 announcement is a single /48, the size normally given to one customer site rather than to a provider.
• Seven thousand addresses depend on a single upstream.
• Nine addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A /48 is what a provider hands out, not what a provider announces. Announcing only that much means the company took the smallest piece it could get, which usually happens when IPv6 was set up for one service and never extended.
• Postal addresses in handles were normal when the registry doubled as a directory: somebody looking up who to call wanted a street, not a subnet. The habit has left several buildings named in the routing table.
