AS16051 — NET-PRO-AS

AS16051 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 256 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

One address answers, and it answers on a domain that has nothing to do with the holder.

What it's used for

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

Notable

• The netname is the brand contracted to six letters, in lower case, where the registry's convention is capitals.
• The AS handle is the same brand hyphenated in capitals with three letters for an autonomous system, so the two fields disagree about both the spelling and the case.
• The registrants are the company under its legal form and an abuse contact.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and one answered: a host named after a mail and calendar server, on a two-letter contraction with a number and the country's domain, none of which matches the holder.

Interesting

• A single answering address in a whole block, named after a mail server, is the shape of a small business network where one machine has to be found from outside and the rest does not.
• Naming a host after the software it runs is common and quietly informative. It tells anyone scanning what to expect on the other end before they connect, which is convenient for administrators and equally convenient for everyone else.
