About this network

The holder field is empty, and the registrants name a betting exchange, its client company and a parent group's abuse role.

What it's used for

• A betting exchange's network, going by the handle and the netnames. Eight IPv4 prefixes announced from the United Kingdom, no IPv6, five thousand six hundred and thirty-two addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• There is no holder name in the record at all. Everything known about the operator comes from the AS handle and from the netnames.
• All eight blocks sit inside one contiguous stretch of address space, carved into pieces of five different sizes.
• Five of them share one netname and one registration date, so most of the holding was signed for in a single afternoon.
• The sixth adds a two-letter country suffix for a different country and the number one, implying a series that never got a second entry.
• The last two carry a different template again, the word for a network first and a three-digit number padded with zeros, and they list only an abuse role whose prefix is a parent group's initials rather than this brand's.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A betting exchange matches customers against each other rather than taking positions, which makes it a transaction system with a public front end and a great deal of it kept off the public internet.
• The abuse role naming a parent group is the clearest thing in this record: the brand survived an acquisition, and the contact desk did not.
