About this network

A manufacturer's addresses answer with the naming a cable company gives its residential subscribers.

What it's used for

• A manufacturer's network. One IPv4 prefix announced from the United States, no IPv6, five hundred and twelve addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The AS handle is the company's full name in capitals joined by hyphens, nothing abbreviated.
• The block is not registered to the company. It belongs to a cable provider, and the netname is that provider's brand with nothing else attached.
• The contact on the block is a title rather than a person: the word for a domain, then the word for a master.
• Two of three queried addresses answered. Each gives the address in normal dotted order, then a label meaning residential, then four letters naming the equipment that terminates subscriber modems, a site code, and the provider's domain.
• The country field in this record is missing the small word between the two halves of the country's name.

Interesting

• A manufacturer with its own AS number, announcing space that belongs to its cable provider, is the shape of a company that wanted routing independence without changing suppliers. The number is theirs; the addresses are borrowed.
• Reverse names saying residential on a company's block are less a mistake than a default. The provider generates one zone for the whole range, and the naming does not know a factory from a house.
• The site code is the most useful thing here for anyone mapping the provider, and the least for anyone looking for the company.
