About this network

The handle spells the company out in full; the netname reduces it to six characters that name a department instead.

What it's used for

• A forest products company's network. One IPv4 prefix announced from the United States, no IPv6, one thousand and twenty-four addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The AS handle is the company name written out, twelve letters and no abbreviation. It is one of the few handles here that a reader can pronounce without decoding it.
• The netname does the opposite: four letters cut from the word for a corporation, two more that match no word anywhere in the record, and a numeral. The company's own name is absent from it.
• The numeral is a two, so somewhere there was or should have been a first block under the same scheme. Only this one is here.
• The block is registered to the company under its full legal name, with no extra contact and no abuse role.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A netname that describes an internal department rather than a company is written by whoever runs the network, for whoever else runs the network. It is legible inside the building and opaque outside it, which is a reasonable trade until somebody outside needs to know whose addresses these are.
• One thousand addresses and a single upstream at a company this size means almost everything is private. The public footprint is a rounding error against the organisation behind it.
