About this network

One netname says the block is for internal purposes, and it is announced to the whole internet.

What it's used for

• A payment processor's network. Seven IPv4 prefixes announced from Germany, no IPv6, three thousand and seventy-two addresses, across two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• One block's netname is two words saying it exists for internal use, while the block is publicly routed.
• Three others share a netname of the country code, a payment clearing company's initials, and a single date from the year two thousand.
• Two more are named for a card company's network with a number on the end, and are registered to a financial technology company in another country entirely.
• The last combines that card company's initials, a three-letter region covering three continents, and four more letters that expand nowhere.
• The contact lists include a hostmaster and a webmaster role under the clearing company's initials, and a role whose name ends with the words for data privacy.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A privacy role in a registry contact list is a legal requirement showing up in an operational record. The registry wanted somebody to contact about the network; the company supplied the person responsible for what the network holds.
• Four company names across seven blocks, each from a different stage of the payments industry consolidating, is what this record is really documenting.
