About this network

A number from the start of the century that the routing archive did not see until 2020.

What it's used for

• A small informatics and security company's network. One IPv4 /24 announced from Hungary, no IPv6, two hundred and fifty-six addresses, through a single observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• First seen in the routing archive far later than its neighbours in the numbering. Almost every number nearby appears at the archive's earliest records; this one waits about two decades before showing up.
• The AS handle is three letters for an autonomous system, a hyphen, then the brand, putting the type before the name where most handles do the reverse.
• The netname is just the brand with nothing attached: no country code, no date, no block range.
• The registrants are the company under its full legal name, including the abbreviated form for a limited partnership, and an abuse contact.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A number issued long ago and announced only recently is the signature of a holding that sat unused. Someone requested it, kept the registration alive, and eventually found a reason to route it, or transferred it to someone who did.
• One upstream on a single block means the announcement exists for control rather than resilience: the addresses stay with the company if the provider changes, which is the usual reason a business this size takes a number at all.
