About this network

The netnames spell the brand with a c and the hostnames spell it with a k.

What it's used for

• A carrier's regional network. Thirteen IPv4 prefixes announced from the Russian Federation, no IPv6, eight thousand nine hundred and sixty addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• Four blocks carry the regional brand as a netname in mixed case, and a fifth adds four letters for the mobile data standard, which dates the registration precisely.
• Five more use the parent carrier's scheme: a country code, three letters for a predecessor, and a full date, with dates spanning five years.
• One block breaks both patterns with three letters, the word for television and the word for a network.
• Every block carries the same abuse contact, whose label pairs the predecessor's initials with a proper noun that appears in no other field.
• Two of eighteen queried addresses answered. Both sit on a domain that spells the regional brand with a different consonant than every netname does.
• One is a gateway named after an object; the other pairs the mobile data standard with a gateway label and the last octet, in mixed case.

Interesting

• A brand spelled one way in the registry and another in DNS usually means the domain was registered first, by whoever could get it, and the paperwork followed the company's own preference later.
• Thirteen blocks behind one upstream, all under a parent's abuse contact, is a regional operator that kept its name and stopped being a separate network.
