AS16168 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 9,216 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Two answering addresses, two dead access technologies, and a handle that is a city and a country.

What it's used for

• A services and access provider. Seven IPv4 prefixes announced from Spain, no IPv6, nine thousand two hundred and sixteen addresses, across twenty observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The AS handle is the brand, the capital city and the country name with a hyphen between them, so the field reads as a postal line rather than an identifier.
• Five of the seven blocks share a netname of country code, brand and one date, all registered on the same day.
• A sixth reverses the order to brand then country code and lists only an abuse department, with the company absent. A seventh keeps the country-code-first form but drops the date.
• Two of eighteen queried addresses answered. One names a point-to-point dial-up session with a four-digit number; the other gives the four numbers of the address in reverse order followed by the letters for a copper broadband line.
• Both surviving names describe access technologies that predate almost everything else still routed here.

Interesting

• Reverse zones are the last place old technology is admitted. A provider replaces the equipment, keeps the addresses, and the names describing modem pools stay until somebody regenerates the zone.
• Seven blocks carved from two ranges with one registration date between five of them is a single allocation subdivided for internal accounting, not seven separate grants.
