About this network

Two blocks, twelve years apart, the same netname scheme both times, and nothing in reverse DNS at all.

What it's used for

• A service organisation's network. Three prefixes announced from Belgium, one of them IPv6, nine thousand two hundred and sixteen addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• Both blocks use one scheme: a country code, the brand, three further letters, and a full date. The dates are twelve years apart and the format did not drift in between.
• Those three extra letters appear in the netnames and in the AS handle but in no company name anywhere in the record, so the routing label preserves an abbreviation the organisation no longer writes out.
• The holder spells the brand with a capital letter at both ends of the word. The contact on the same block spells it with one, and the netnames capitalise the whole thing.
• Each block lists the organisation and a network contact, and that is the entire contact set.
• One upstream carries all nine thousand addresses.
• Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A naming convention that survives twelve years unchanged means one team kept ownership of the registry entries for that long, which is rarer than it sounds.
• No reverse names on a network this size means the addresses face inward. Nothing here is meant to be looked up by a stranger who received traffic from it.
