About this network

The netname drops a vowel out of the brand to make it fit.

What it's used for

• A credit card company's network. One IPv4 /22 announced from Israel, no IPv6, one thousand and twenty-four addresses, across three observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The netname is the brand with a vowel removed from the second half, then the word for a network.
• The AS handle spells the same brand in full, so the shortening was a choice made in one field and not the other.
• The registrants are the company under its legal form and an abuse role.
• One route, three upstreams, one thousand addresses, present since the routing archive's earliest records.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Dropped vowels in netnames come from the era of fixed-width fields, where a name had to fit a character limit and the vowels were the first thing to go. The limit is long gone and the abbreviation stays, because renaming a block is work with no reward.
• Three upstreams on a card processor is the sensible number and a contrast with most financial networks in this range, which sit behind one. Card authorisation fails visibly and immediately when the network does, so the redundancy has a price attached to it.
