AS16065 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 1,024 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The handle names two research institutions; the holder is a company named after a domain.

What it's used for

• A small provider's network, announced for a research laboratory. Two IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 /48 announced from Norway, one thousand and twenty-four addresses, through a single observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The AS handle is two institutional contractions joined by a hyphen: one a research laboratory, the other four letters for a network research centre. Neither is the holder.
• The holder is a company whose name is a domain, with the country's two-letter legal form for a public company after it, and that legal form is the same two letters used everywhere else for an autonomous system.
• Both netnames are the country code and the brand with the dot removed; one carries a date and the other does not.
• The first registrant on both blocks is a private individual, with the company and an abuse role after.
• Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A one-person company holding addresses and announcing them for a research institution is a common arrangement in small countries: the technical work sits with someone who already has the registry membership, and the institution buys the service rather than the paperwork.
• Two letters meaning both a company form and an autonomous system in the same field is the kind of collision that makes this data hard to parse automatically and easy to read by eye.
