AS16543 announces 3 IPv4 prefixes covering 1,024 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Nine addresses, nine answers, three domains, and two of the answers are customer web addresses.

What it's used for

• A provider's network. Three IPv4 prefixes announced from Canada, no IPv6, one thousand and twenty-four addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The three blocks carry three registrants: a carrier, a two-part name joining an unrelated company to this one with a slash, and the provider itself.
• The carrier's netname is its brand and a numeral three. The provider's own is the word for a network and its brand.
• The middle block's netname is a single letter, then the address as one run of digits with the dots removed and each part zero-padded, then six more digits that read like a date.
• All nine queried addresses answered. Six give the address with hyphens on one domain, three of those adding a label naming an older access technology.
• The other three sit on a different block: one is the last part of the address alone on the provider's domain, two are business web addresses with the conventional prefix.

Interesting

• Reverse names that are customer web addresses mean the provider hosts those sites and pointed the reverse zone at the forward one's names. It is tidy, and it publishes part of the customer list.
• A label naming an old access technology is not evidence the technology still runs. It is evidence that nobody edits a zone file that works.
• Three registrants for three blocks, one upstream carrying all of them: the paperwork is more fragmented than the routing.
