About this network

Two blocks, one company, and its name written both in full and as two letters.

What it's used for

• A wireless provider's network. Two IPv4 prefixes announced from the United States, no IPv6, six thousand one hundred and forty-four addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• Both blocks are registered to the holder, and both netnames end in the numeral one.
• One netname runs the two words of the company together and adds that counter. The other reduces the same two words to their initials and adds the same counter.
• The counters do not continue each other. Each block is the first of its own series, so the numbering carries no order and no relationship between the two.
• Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
• One observed neighbour carries both blocks.

Interesting

• The same company at two lengths with the same counter is what two allocations look like when they are made by different hands, far enough apart that nobody consulted the earlier record.
• A counter that restarts on every block counts nothing. It looks like a series and works like a decoration.
• Six thousand addresses behind a single upstream is a wireless provider with one road out. That is common at this size and is the first thing to change when the network grows.
