About this network

The same job appears four times in the contacts, spelled four different ways.

What it's used for

• A regional provider's network. Seven IPv4 prefixes and four IPv6 prefixes announced from the United States, twelve thousand eight hundred addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• Every block is the company's, under three netname families: the AS handle itself, a carrier's three letters with a customer number, and four letters with the block's address and size spelled out in hyphens.
• One of the carrier-style netnames carries an eight-character hexadecimal string and two numbers. Another keeps the same customer number and replaces the rest with the address, dots removed.
• The contacts on those blocks name one role four ways: in full capitals, in title case, in mixed case, and as a lowercase login. A separate abuse department is listed as a fifth.
• Eight of eighteen queried addresses answered. Seven are the address with hyphens, a three-letter regional label, and the company's domain.
• The eighth is a customer's bare domain with no host label at all.

Interesting

• Four spellings of one job title are four people filling the same form on four different days. The registry keeps them all, because nothing in it compares one entry to another.
• A hexadecimal string in a netname is a database key that escaped. It identifies the assignment perfectly inside one carrier's system and means nothing outside it.
• Twelve thousand addresses behind one upstream is a lot of customers on a single rope.
