About this network

A private bank's only block is registered to the incumbent carrier's abuse desk, under a netname about trading development.

What it's used for

• A private bank's network. A single IPv4 prefix announced from Switzerland, no IPv6, two hundred and fifty-six addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The bank's name is nowhere in the block's registration. The only registrant listed is the abuse desk of the national telecoms operator, which holds the range on the bank's behalf.
• The netname is three words: trading, development, and network. It describes what the addresses were for rather than who has them, which is unusual in a field that normally carries a brand.
• The AS handle adds two letters to the bank's initials, marking the asset management arm rather than the bank as a whole, while the holder field names the parent under its full legal form.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Banks that lease their connectivity often never appear in the address registry at all. The carrier signs for the block, the bank uses it, and the only trace of the arrangement is the AS number sitting above a range registered to somebody else.
• A netname naming a development environment on a publicly routed block is a small archaeological find. Whatever was being built when the range was assigned, the label outlived it.
