About this network

The one address that answered says it is unused.

What it's used for

• A 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 holder, the AS handle and the netname stem are the same five letters. The netname adds the word for a network, the holder adds a corporate form, and nothing in the record expands the letters.
• The whole holding is one contiguous block, registered to the company under its own name.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and one answered: the address in its normal dotted order, then a word meaning unused, then the company's own domain.
• The other two returned nothing, so the only name published in the block describes an absence.
• One observed neighbour carries it.

Interesting

• A reverse zone that labels an address unused, and answers for it anyway, is a generated zone. The tool filled a name in for every address in the range and marked the ones with nothing assigned to them.
• That is more information than silence gives. A missing answer could mean anything; this one says the operator knows the address exists and has put nothing on it.
• Five letters with no expansion anywhere is common for companies that named themselves from initials and then stopped using the words behind them. The initials become the name, and the registry keeps only the shorter version.
