About this network

Five brands across six blocks, and two of the contacts are the bare words admin and support.

What it's used for

• A provider. Six IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 block announced from Ireland, twenty-six thousand six hundred and twenty-four addresses, across twelve observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Three blocks carry a netname built from a country code, a brand that matches neither the holder nor the handle, and a date, with dates spanning seven years. They are registered to the holder company and to a maintainer role named for the handle brand.
• Two more use a fourth brand and belong to a separate limited company, whose contacts are listed as the single words for administration and for support, with no organisation attached to either.
• The sixth uses a fifth brand and belongs to a third limited company entirely.
• So the record names three companies and five brands, none of which is the name in the holder field.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A provider that grows by buying small competitors ends up announcing their blocks under their old registrations, because transferring a block is paperwork and announcing it is a configuration line. The routing merges long before the records do.
• Contacts named only admin or support are the sign of a very small operation, where the person reading the mailbox is whoever is nearest to it.
