AS15964 — CAMNET-AS

Network type: hosting

AS15964 announces 25 IPv4 prefixes covering 44,032 addresses and 6 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Fifty-nine prefixes, and the netnames are either a registry-generated organisation handle or nothing at all.

What it's used for

• A national telecommunications operator. Fifty-nine IPv4 prefixes and five IPv6 prefixes announced from Cameroon, forty-three thousand two hundred and sixty-four addresses, across eleven observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Most readable blocks carry the same netname: an organisation handle generated by the registry, ending in the registry's own name. No descriptive name was ever chosen.
• Several others return unknown for both netname and registrant, and one lookup failed outright, so those details are unknown rather than absent.
• The holder string is the operator's name written twice with a hyphen between, while the AS handle uses a different contraction ending in the word for a network.
• The IPv6 holdings include a /47 and three /48s that sit inside or beside it, plus a /32 from an entirely different range.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• An organisation handle as a netname is the registry's default when the form is submitted without one. Seeing it repeated across dozens of blocks means the space was allocated in bulk through an interface that did not insist on a description, which is common where one operator holds nearly all of a country's addresses.
• Eleven neighbours for a national operator is few, and it reflects geography: the routes leave the country through a small number of cables.
