About this network

The handle spells out all four words, the holder abbreviates three of them, and the netname splits the difference.

What it's used for

• A school district's network. A single IPv4 prefix announced from the United States, no IPv6, two hundred and fifty-six addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The AS handle is the district's full name, four words hyphenated together, which makes it one of the longest handles in this range.
• The holder field pairs that handle with the same name compressed to the town and three initials.
• The netname takes a third route: the town spelled out, a hyphen, and the three initials. So the record contains the long form, the short form and one of each.
• The district is the only entry on the block. There is no abuse contact and no technical role.
• The prefix is the smallest routable size, behind one upstream, and it is the whole holding.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• The three initials are the standard abbreviation for this kind of district, so the short form is unambiguous to anyone local and meaningless to everyone else. Registry fields have no way to know which audience they are for, so records like this end up carrying both.
• School districts run their own autonomous systems when they connect to a state education network and a commercial provider at once. One upstream in the routing data means only half of that arrangement is visible here.
