About this network

The AS handle is four letters and a trailing hyphen, cut off before whatever came next.

What it's used for

• A provider's network. Three IPv4 prefixes announced from Austria, no IPv6, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-two addresses, through a single observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The handle ends in a hyphen with nothing after it, so the field was truncated at the exact point where a country code or a suffix would have followed.
• The three netnames use three conventions: the country code with the brand and a date, the brand with the word for a network, and a five-letter label in lower case that matches nothing else in the record.
• That third block is registered to a private individual, with the company appearing only as the hostmaster contact beneath.
• Every block carries the same hostmaster role, written as the word for hostmaster followed by the full company name including its legal form.
• Nine addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• An individual holding a block that a company announces is one of the oldest arrangements in the registry. Address space was assigned to whoever asked, and small networks were often requested by one person who then built a business around them.
• A trailing hyphen is a good marker of a copied field. Somebody pasted a prefix meaning to complete it, and the record has been served that way ever since.
