About this network

The AS handle is a postal address, complete with a postcode and a full stop at the end.

What it's used for

• A bank's network. One IPv4 /20 announced from the Russian Federation, no IPv6, four thousand and ninety-six addresses, across three observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The handle is the word for a location, a space, a colon, then a postcode, an abbreviated street word, a city and a country, ending in a full stop. The bank's own name is absent from it entirely.
• Everywhere else in the routing record a handle is a short identifier; here the field has been filled in as if it were a form asking where the organisation is.
• The netname is the ordinary template: country code, the bank's initials, and a date from the very start of the century.
• The registrants are the bank under its full legal name and an abuse role.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A /20 is a large holding for one bank, and it comes from an era when address space was handed out by the thousand to anyone who could describe a plan for it. A bank starting today would be issued a fraction of it.
• The postal address in the handle has outlived whatever form it was typed into. Nothing checks these fields, so a mistake made once at registration is still being served to every network that looks the number up.
