About this network

The single answering host is named after a mythological ferryman.

What it's used for

• A company's own network. One IPv4 /23 announced from Italy, no IPv6, five hundred and twelve addresses, across two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Three addresses were queried and one answered, with a name that is a figure from myth on the company's domain, carrying nothing about the address or the machine's function.
• The AS handle is the three letters for an autonomous system number followed by the brand, which is the reverse of the usual order in this range.
• The netname is that brand with the three letters for a network, and the block lists the company and a role for abuse.
• The company name is a word rather than an invented brand, and its legal form is written with a dot after every letter.
• Five hundred and twelve addresses on one route, with two upstreams.

Interesting

• Naming machines after myth is one of the oldest conventions in the trade and it survives because it works: the names are memorable, unambiguous when spoken aloud, and carry no information an outsider can use. A machine called after a ferryman tells an intruder nothing about what it runs.
• The cost shows up later, when the myth runs out and somebody has to explain to a new colleague which of thirty gods is the mail server.
