About this network

Over two million addresses, eighty prefixes, and one netname on all of them.

What it's used for

• A residential fibre provider's network. Eighty IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 prefix announced from the United States, more than two million addresses, through nineteen observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Every listed block carries the same netname: the brand shortened by one word, a hyphen, and a marker for the protocol version.
• The blocks are cut from a single parent range into pieces of four different sizes, announced separately rather than as one.
• Eighty IPv4 prefixes stand against a single IPv6 prefix, which is the whole IPv6 announcement.
• All eighteen queried addresses answered, every one the address with hyphens on the brand's own domain. There are no exceptions and no second pattern.
• Nineteen observed neighbours carry the whole thing.

Interesting

• A hundred per cent answer rate across two million addresses is a generated zone with no hand edits in it. Every address has a name whether anything is using it or not, which is the only way to name a network this size.
• A version marker in the netname on a record with one IPv6 prefix reads as an intention. The field distinguishes something the address space has barely begun to need.
• One name across eighty prefixes is the opposite of most large records, which accumulate a netname per acquisition. This space was requested once, by one company, for one purpose, and the paperwork never had to absorb anybody else's.
