About this network

The handle ends mid-sentence, explaining what the number will be used for.

What it's used for

• A bank's network. A single IPv4 prefix announced from Latvia, no IPv6, two thousand and forty-eight addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The AS handle is this network's own number, an underscore, the bank's brand, and then a clause saying the number will be used to provide connectivity. A request form's justification field ended up in the routing label.
• Two letters do double duty throughout. They are the abbreviation for an autonomous system and also the local suffix for a joint-stock company, so the same pair appears twice in the holder field meaning two different things.
• The holder puts the company suffix before the name and wraps the name in quotation marks, which is the local convention and looks like an error everywhere else.
• The netname is the brand alone in mixed case, without a country code or a date.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Free-text fields collect whatever was in the applicant's head. A sentence written in the future tense, read two decades later, is a small record of the day somebody asked for the number and had to say why.
• A bank with two thousand addresses and one upstream is running its own routing for control rather than resilience. The number means the addresses stay put when the provider changes.
