AS15930 — WIPLINE-AS

AS15930 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 9,216 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Six of the nine blocks list a three-letter role as their only registrant, with the company itself missing.

What it's used for

• A provider's network. Nine IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 /32 announced from the Russian Federation, nine thousand two hundred and sixteen addresses, across sixteen observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Three blocks carry a country code, the brand and the date 20060814, and name the company followed by a role made of two abbreviations.
• The other six carry only the bare brand as netname, and only that role as registrant, so the company appears nowhere on them.
• The nine prefixes cover two ranges, and within the first they run from a /20 down to two /24s that sit inside the larger announcements.
• Sixteen upstreams for nine thousand addresses is a lot of transit for the size.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• The role name reads as an abbreviation of the brand plus two letters for database maintenance, which is a registry function rather than an operational one. A block whose only contact is the person who maintains the records is a block nobody has been asked about.
• Announcing a range and pieces of it at once is how a provider steers traffic per customer while keeping a fallback route, and it is why nine prefixes cover far less than nine blocks' worth of distinct space.
