About this network

The company spells its name one way, the second netname spells it another, and the contact is whoever is on duty.

What it's used for

• A data technology company's network. Two IPv4 prefixes announced from Germany, no IPv6, four thousand three hundred and fifty-two addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The holder field writes the company name entirely in lower case, which is how the company writes it and not how the registry usually does.
• The first netname is a country code, three letters of an abbreviation, and a full date. The second is a six-letter word that is the company name with an extra letter and a different ending, so the two blocks disagree about the spelling.
• The first registrant on the older block is a role called the hostmaster of the day, which names a shift rather than a person or a team.
• The AS handle is the three-letter abbreviation alone, so the routing label and the older netname agree while the newer netname stands apart.
• The two blocks differ in size by a factor of sixteen.
• Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A rotating hostmaster role is an honest answer to the question the registry asks. It says the address goes to whoever is working, which is more accurate than any individual name would be a year later.
• Two spellings of one company across two blocks is how a small operator's records drift. Nobody compares them, because nobody reads both on the same day.
