About this network

The handle runs five words together including the state; the netname keeps two of them and hyphenates in the wrong place.

What it's used for

• A municipal government's network. One IPv4 prefix announced from the United States, no IPv6, eight thousand one hundred and ninety-two addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The AS handle is the words for city, of, the city name and the state, run together with no separators at all, leaving one long string a reader has to parse by eye.
• The netname keeps only the first three words, drops the state, and puts its single hyphen after the word for of rather than before it, so the split falls in the middle of a phrase instead of between two.
• The registrant is the same short name the netname uses.
• All three queried addresses answered, each with its own address written out in four hyphenated parts, the word for a fixed assignment, and the government's own domain.
• One answer sits on the first address of a subnet, which normally identifies the network rather than a host. It answers anyway, so the reverse zone is generated across the range rather than per machine.

Interesting

• A municipality that publishes reverse names on its own domain tells anyone who looks which addresses belong to the city. That helps a service desk and helps anyone mapping the city from outside just as much.
• Two spellings of one owner in two registry fields is the ordinary outcome of two people filling in two forms far apart.
