About this network

Every reverse name says which protocol version the address belongs to, which the address already says.

What it's used for

• A provider's network. Two IPv4 prefixes announced from Spain, no IPv6, ten thousand two hundred and forty addresses, through a single observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• All six queried addresses answered, each the four octets hyphenated, then a label naming the protocol version, then the brand's domain.
• Both netnames follow the registry's template of country code, brand and date, and the two dates are about eight years apart.
• Both blocks list the company under its legal form and its own operations centre, with no abuse role separate from those.
• Ten thousand addresses on two announcements behind a single upstream.

Interesting

• Putting the protocol version into a reverse name is redundant on its face, since an address of that shape can only be one version. It exists because the zone was built when adding the other version looked imminent, and a parallel set of names was going to be needed.
• Two blocks, one upstream and a large address holding is the shape of a provider that grew by buying space rather than by connecting to more networks. Resilience and address count are separate decisions, and this network made only one of them.
