About this network

The netname ends in the three letters of a domain suffix, as though the field were a web address.

What it's used for

• A credit union's network. One IPv4 prefix announced from the United States, no IPv6, one thousand and twenty-four addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The AS handle is two letters for the state and the word for the federal charter, run together. The institution's actual business appears in neither.
• The netname is that same string with three more letters appended, and those three are the suffix of a domain rather than anything about the network. Somebody wrote the website into the registry.
• The block lists an extra contact beside the credit union: the words for an operations centre, spelled out in full rather than abbreviated to the usual three letters.
• The announcement is one contiguous block, behind two observed neighbours, and it is the whole holding.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Domain suffixes leaking into netnames is a habit from the years when the organisation's name and its web address were becoming the same thing. The registry field does not resolve, and it looks like it should.
• Spelling out an operations centre instead of using the initials is a small kindness to whoever reads the record cold. Most contacts in this range are three or four letters that assume you already know.
• A thousand addresses behind two upstreams is a member-owned institution with a modest online surface and a reason to care about staying reachable.
