About this network

One block, one upstream, one netname that begins with the registry's own word for a block of addresses.

What it's used for

• A college's network. One IPv4 prefix announced from the United States, no IPv6, two thousand and forty-eight addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The netname is the registry's abbreviation for a network block, a hyphen, and the college's name. The first half describes the field it is written in.
• The AS handle is the college's full name, both words, hyphenated and in capitals.
• The registrant is the college again, written normally. Three fields, one name, three levels of shouting.
• The whole holding is a single contiguous block, and nothing in the record belongs to anybody else.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A prefix meaning block of addresses on a field whose entire purpose is to name a block of addresses is a fossil from paper forms, when the same sheet held several kinds of record and the prefix said which kind this was.
• Two thousand addresses is a college that registered its space when a college could ask for that much and receive it. The size is a date stamp of a kind, readable without any date in the record.
• One upstream for a campus is the arrangement of an institution that treats connectivity as a utility bill. When it fails, the answer is to wait, and that has been an acceptable answer for a long time.
