About this network

Three blocks carry a netname with a letter missing from the company's own name.

What it's used for

• A services company's network. Four IPv4 prefixes announced from the United States, no IPv6, four thousand six hundred and eight addresses, through eight observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The AS handle runs the company's two words together and spells both of them correctly.
• Three of the four blocks carry a netname of those same two words with a letter dropped from the second, followed by a commercial domain suffix.
• All four blocks are registered to the holder, so the misspelling is the company's own, entered three separate times.
• The fourth netname is not a name at all: it is the block's address and its size, written with hyphens.
• Twelve addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A misspelling repeated across three blocks is a template rather than three mistakes. The first was a typo; the next two were copied from the record before them, because copying is faster than typing.
• A domain suffix inside a netname treats the field as if it were a hostname. It is not, and nothing resolves it, so the suffix is decoration that survives because nothing checks.
• Eight upstreams for four thousand addresses is far more connectivity than the size demands, which puts the value in availability rather than in volume.
