About this network

The handle says autonomous system twice, once as three letters and once spelled out in full.

What it's used for

• A systems house's network. Three prefixes announced from Germany, including one IPv6 prefix, five thousand one hundred and twenty addresses, through fifty-four observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The AS handle is three letters for autonomous system, a hyphen, the brand, then the brand again and the words autonomous system written out. The concept is stated twice and the brand twice, in one field.
• The holder field records a private individual trading under a company name, so the registry lists a person where most records list a firm. The company name is quoted inside the field, quotation marks included.
• Both blocks use the same scheme: a country code, the brand, and a full date, thirteen years apart.
• One of six queried addresses answered. The name reads as a router interface, an edge device number, a colocation site with its own number, and three letters for a city.
• Fifty-four observed neighbours on five thousand addresses is a peering count out of proportion to the size of the network.

Interesting

• Trading as a company while holding the addresses personally is a real legal arrangement, and the registry has no other field to record it in. The result reads like a mistake and is not one.
• One router name is enough to describe the topology: an edge box, in a colocation facility, in a named city. The rest is customer space with nothing published.
