About this network

Every field carries the same brand, and the reverse names are the address and nothing else.

What it's used for

• A hosting company's network. Two IPv4 prefixes announced from the United Kingdom, no IPv6, one thousand two hundred and eighty addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• All six queried addresses answered, and each name is just the four numbers of the address joined by hyphens followed by the company domain. There is no leading word for a host, no access technology and no site code.
• Both netnames use a country code, the brand and a date. The two dates are seven years apart, the later one recent enough to be one of the newest registrations in this range.
• Each block lists three contacts and all three carry the brand: an operations centre, the company, and an abuse contact.
• The AS handle is the brand alone, matching the netnames and the holder field.

Interesting

• Bare numeric reverse names are the minimum a zone can publish and still be useful. They confirm the address belongs to this network and say nothing more, which is all a mail server or a log reader actually needs.
• A company still acquiring address space in the last few years, in a market where blocks are bought rather than granted, is one that grew after the free pool ran out. The gap between the two dates is the price of that timing.
