About this network

One netname says only the word new and which version of the address protocol it holds.

What it's used for

• A small provider's network. Three IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 prefix announced from the United States, two thousand three hundred and four addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• One netname repeats the AS handle exactly: the company name and its industry word joined by a hyphen. That is the one place in the record where the registry and the routing label agree.
• A second netname is the word new followed by a version marker for the address protocol, with no company, place or counter in it at all.
• The third is a three-letter code and a number. The code reads as a city or airport abbreviation and appears nowhere else in the record.
• All three blocks are registered to the holder, so the mismatched labels are internal habit rather than a sign of resale.
• Nine addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A netname meaning new is written on the day space is allocated and describes the block only relative to what came before. Once a fourth block arrives, the label is worse than nothing.
• Three blocks under one holder with three naming schemes is a company small enough that each allocation was handled by whoever was free that week.
• One upstream for the whole announcement means a single link decides whether any of it is reachable.
