About this network

The registrant is the ministry's name with the joining word missing.

What it's used for

• A government ministry's network. One IPv4 /23 announced from Kuwait, no IPv6, five hundred and twelve addresses, through a single observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The registrant field names the ministry but drops the word between the department and its subject, so the entry reads as two nouns pushed together.
• The netname is the country and three initials for the ministry, in mixed case where the registry's convention is capitals.
• The AS handle is that same string in full capitals with three letters for an autonomous system attached, so the two fields disagree about the case of the same name.
• The only other contact is an abuse role.
• One route, one upstream, five hundred and twelve addresses, unchanged since the routing archive's early records.

Interesting

• Ministries were among the first organisations in many countries to get their own address blocks, usually before the national operator had anything to sell them. The block is small because the point was independence from the operator, not capacity.
• A single upstream on a finance ministry is the part worth noticing. Everything about the network says it is meant to reach out rather than be reached, and nothing about it is built to survive its provider having a bad day.
