About this network

One block is named for a spun-off energy brand with a zero-padded number after it.

What it's used for

• An energy company's network. Two IPv4 prefixes announced from Germany, no IPv6, two thousand three hundred and four addresses, through a single observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• One netname is two letters and the word for a network, all in lower case, expanding nowhere in the record.
• The other is a brand belonging to the company that was split off from this group, an underscore, and a three-digit number padded with leading zeros, which implies a numbered series that starts at one.
• The AS handle is the brand, two letters for information systems, and three more for an internet provider, so the field describes the department and the role rather than naming the company.
• Both blocks are registered to the group under different legal forms.
• Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Energy companies ended up with corporate networks the size of small providers because generation, distribution and trading each needed their own systems, and the trading side in particular has to reach markets in other countries.
• A spun-off brand still holding a block inside its former parent's routing is the ordinary state of a demerger a few years in. Splitting a company takes months; splitting its address space takes as long as somebody is paid to care.
