About this network

Eight blocks are named after a new operator that stopped being new twenty years ago.

What it's used for

• A national operator's network. Twenty-nine prefixes announced from North Macedonia, one of them IPv6, eighty-seven thousand five hundred and fifty-two addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The AS handle is a four-letter brand and then this network's own autonomous system number, so the label restates the thing it labels.
• Eight blocks share a netname scheme: a country code, a compound word meaning a new operator, and a full date. The dates run across eleven years and the word stayed.
• Three more blocks break that scheme, naming the current brand or an older one alongside the word for the network, with no date at all.
• Every registrant field names a role object rather than a company. On most blocks the company follows it; on the newer-scheme blocks the role object stands alone.
• Three of eighteen queried addresses answered, all on a fourth brand's domain, with a four-letter prefix and the address hyphenated behind it. Two of the three are block boundaries.
• One observed upstream carries the whole network.

Interesting

• Four brands in one record, in the handle, the netnames, the exceptions and the reverse zone, is the sediment of a telecoms market that consolidated. Nothing was renamed; things were added on top.
• A netname meaning new operator is a joke that only registry entries can make, because only they last long enough for the adjective to expire.
