About this network

A newspaper with two hundred and fifty-six addresses and eight neighbours.

What it's used for

• A daily newspaper's network. One IPv4 /24 and one IPv6 /48 announced from Germany, two hundred and fifty-six addresses, across eight observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The holder's name spells the legal form for a limited company out in full as four words rather than using the usual four-letter abbreviation, with the vowel written as two letters, and ends with the city.
• The AS handle repeats the paper's masthead in lower case and then the words for an autonomous system, spelled out rather than abbreviated.
• The netname is the brand and the city.
• One registrant is a role whose name ends in the word for a day, which reads as a duty rota rather than a person or a team.
• Two of three queried addresses answered, both a four-letter contraction for a server with a short suffix, on the paper's own domain.

Interesting

• Eight neighbours on a single block is a lot, and it is the most interesting number here. A newspaper that peers this widely is treating being reachable as part of publishing, not as an IT expense.
• Spelling out the words for an autonomous system in a field that exists precisely to abbreviate them is in keeping with a paper that spells its legal form out too. The record was filled in by someone who preferred words to codes.
