About this network

Every field agrees with every other field, which is rare enough to be worth pointing out.

What it's used for

• A telecoms provider's network. Two prefixes announced from France, one of them IPv6, four thousand and ninety-six addresses, through three observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The AS handle is the company name in capitals and nothing else.
• The holder field is that handle followed by the same name with its legal form, so the two labels differ only in case and suffix.
• The netname is a country code, the same name again, and a full date. No predecessor brand, no abbreviation, no second company.
• The block lists two contacts: the company, and its network operations centre named after the company. That is the entire contact set.
• One IPv4 block, one IPv6 block, three upstreams, and no other holdings.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Most records in this range disagree with themselves somewhere: a handle from one era, a netname from another, a registrant that changed hands. This one does not. One company registered one block, named it after itself, and has not been acquired or renamed since.
• Consistency like this is the baseline that makes every other anomaly legible. The interesting records are interesting because this is what the form was designed to produce.
• Three upstreams and a matching IPv6 block is a network that has kept up without growing.
