AS16255 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 512 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The netname is a registry-generated organisation handle, and the only host published is the mail server.

What it's used for

• A small provider's network. A single IPv4 prefix announced from Estonia, no IPv6, five hundred and twelve addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The netname is not a name. It is three letters for organisation, two initials of the company, a serial number and the registry's own name, which is the string the database generates when nobody supplies one.
• The AS handle does supply one: an element name and the letters for an autonomous system, which is the only readable label in the record.
• The holder field adds the company suffix used for a private limited company in its country, so the legal form is the one detail the handle drops.
• The block is registered to the company and to an abuse role whose label spells out that it is a role object, in case a reader mistook it for a person.
• One of three queried addresses answered, and it is the mail server, on a domain using the continental suffix rather than the country's own.

Interesting

• Publishing one name and making it the mail server is the minimum viable reverse DNS. Mail is the service that breaks without it; everything else works fine in silence.
• A company registered in one country and reachable under a continental domain is buying an identity larger than its incorporation. The addresses stay where the paperwork is, and the branding does not.
