About this network

The AS handle is a city name. Not a contraction, not a code: just the capital.

What it's used for

• A provider's network. Two IPv4 prefixes announced from Latvia, no IPv6, one thousand two hundred and eighty addresses, across three observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The handle is the country's capital city, written plainly with an initial capital, and contains no brand, no country code and no letters for an autonomous system.
• One netname is the company's name hyphenated in mixed case with the word for a network on the end, keeping the lower-case second word from the legal name.
• The other is a five-letter brand that appears nowhere else in the record, with the same suffix.
• Both blocks list the company under its legal form and an abuse role, and come from two unrelated ranges registered in different eras.
• Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A handle that is only a city works fine, because nothing in routing requires a handle to be unique or meaningful. It is a label read by people, and the person who chose it knew which city they meant.
• A second brand on the second block, with no explanation anywhere, is the ordinary residue of a small provider absorbing another. There were many of them in this part of the world, and the registry is where the names end up.
