About this network

Some reverse names carry a label announcing that they are reverse names.

What it's used for

• A regional provider's network. Five IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 prefix announced from the United States, six thousand one hundred and forty-four addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Four blocks are the company's, all under one netname: three initials and the word for a network. Each lists an operations contact and an abuse contact named after the company.
• The fifth block belongs to a differently named company, under a netname of a surname and the word one.
• Fourteen of fifteen queried addresses answered, across three domains. Three are on the company's own domain and insert a five-letter label meaning a reverse address record between the address and the domain.
• Nine more are the address with hyphens on a second, unrelated brand's domain, with no such label.
• The last two, on the fifth block, are the word for an address and the final part of the address, on that other company's domain.

Interesting

• A label inside a reverse name saying that it is a reverse name is redundant to the protocol and useful to a person reading a log. It marks these as generated addresses rather than named machines, which is what a support desk wants to know at a glance.
• Three naming schemes on one small network, each internally consistent, is the fingerprint of three different zone generators. Nothing here has been unified, and nothing needs to be.
