About this network

The reverse zone sits under a town's own domain rather than the foundation's.

What it's used for

• A foundation's network. One IPv4 prefix announced from the United States, no IPv6, two hundred and fifty-six addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The AS handle is three initials followed by two acronyms: the letters for an autonomous system number, and the letters for the routing protocol that carries it.
• The single block is registered to the holder under a netname of those same three initials and a two-digit counter, on the only block in inventory.
• All three queried addresses answered, each with the same shape: a four-letter label meaning customer, the address with hyphens, the three initials again, then a town name under a two-letter country suffix.
• The organisation's reverse names therefore live inside a domain named for a place, not for the holder.

Interesting

• A handle carrying both the words for the number and for the protocol states what the record is twice. Every entry in the registry is an autonomous system, and every one of them is announced by that protocol.
• A two-digit counter on a single block is numbering borrowed from a larger scheme, or a ticket reference that happened to end up in a public field.
• A domain named for the town under a country suffix is an organisation whose identity is the place. The reverse names say where these machines are before they say whose they are.
