About this network

Five single blocks from five unrelated ranges, one of them registered to a rival operator's abuse desk.

What it's used for

• A hosting provider. Five IPv4 prefixes announced from Bulgaria, no IPv6, one thousand two hundred and eighty addresses, across nine observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Every block is a single /24 and no two come from the same range, which is what buying address space one piece at a time looks like.
• Four netnames use a country code, a different company's brand, and a date, and are registered to that company under two spellings plus an abuse role.
• The fifth is named after the holder and lists exactly one contact: the abuse desk of a large national operator, with neither the holder nor the other company on it.
• Two of the four dated blocks share one date; the others are three and thirteen years later.
• The AS handle is the other company's brand and the word for hosting, not the holder's name.
• Fifteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• The holder appears only in the routing record and in one netname. Everywhere else the record belongs to the business that was bought, which is the usual outcome when a hosting company changes hands: the customers and the addresses move, and the paperwork does not.
• Scattered single blocks with different registrations are harder to filter and harder to trace, which is a side effect rather than a motive, but it is why address history is worth reading.
