About this network

Every reverse name begins with the three letters for a pointer record, then reads the address backwards.

What it's used for

• A telecoms operator's network. Two IPv4 prefixes announced from the Russian Federation, no IPv6, one thousand and twenty-four addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• All six queried addresses answered, and every name has the same construction: the letters that name the record type itself, then the last number of the address, then the first three numbers in reverse order, then the company's domain.
• The result reads like the zone file it was generated from rather than like a hostname, and it repeats the last number twice in different positions.
• The domain shortens the brand to three letters and adds a hyphen before the word for telecoms, a spelling that matches neither the holder's name nor the netname.
• Both blocks carry the same netname and the same registration date, so the two ranges were signed for together despite sitting in unrelated parts of the address space.
• The network was first seen announcing routes seven years before that date.

Interesting

• Naming a forward record after the reverse record type is circular in a way that is easy to produce and hard to notice. A script that walks the reverse zone will happily emit the type name as a label.
• Two blocks with one date and no overlap in numbering is the mark of an operator that came to the registry once with a pair of requests and never came back.
