AS16679 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 4,096 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The handle carries two numbers, and neither of them is the AS number.

What it's used for

• A school district's network. One IPv4 prefix announced from the United States, no IPv6, four thousand and ninety-six addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The AS handle is three initials, the district's own three-digit number, the three letters for an autonomous system number, and then a further three-digit counter.
• That second number matches nothing else in the record, and the AS number itself never appears.
• The single block is registered not to the district but to a statewide cooperative for school information processing, under a netname of that body's five initials and the word for a network.
• The registrant field lists a second contact named for the management of addresses, a function rather than a person.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A cooperative holding the address space for a member district is how small public bodies get network services: one organisation runs the paperwork, the routing and the support for many districts at once.
• Two numbers in one handle, one meaningful and one not, is what happens when a naming scheme leaves room for a counter and nobody records what it counts.
• Four thousand addresses for a district is generous by modern standards and unremarkable for an early allocation, when a classroom of machines needed one address each.
