About this network

Four blocks share one netname, and it names a range far wider than any of them.

What it's used for

• A broadcaster's network. Four IPv4 prefixes announced from Mexico, no IPv6, one thousand and twenty-four addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The AS handle is the full legal name: two words, then two abbreviated corporate forms with full stops and a connecting word between them.
• All four blocks are registered to that same name, and all four carry an identical netname.
• That netname is not a name at all. It is a pair of addresses with a hyphen between them, marking the start and end of a range.
• The range covers several times more addresses than the four announced blocks together, so the label describes the parent allocation rather than anything announced.
• Twelve addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Address ranges in place of netnames are a regional registry convention rather than an oversight. They restate the allocation and add nothing a reader could not already see.
• Four small blocks carved from one wider range, with the gaps between them unannounced, means most of the allocation is either unused or routed somewhere this record does not reach.
• A broadcaster with a thousand addresses and nothing answering keeps its public presence somewhere else. What is here is the corporate side, named entirely on the inside.
