AS16696 — ITELNETWORKS

AS16696 announces 60 IPv4 prefixes covering 30,464 addresses and 3 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Most of these blocks carry a netname two letters long.

What it's used for

• A provider's network. Sixty IPv4 prefixes and three IPv6 prefixes announced from Canada, thirty thousand four hundred and sixty-four addresses, through thirty-two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The AS handle runs the company's two words together in capitals.
• Most blocks registered to the holder carry a netname of just two letters, the initials of those two words. It is the shortest label the registry will accept and still be unique.
• Two more of the holder's blocks abbreviate the same name differently: one keeps four letters of the first word, the other keeps two, and both add the word for a network and a counter.
• One block is registered to the regional address registry itself, under a netname of that word and a number.
• Another belongs to a separate company, under its own initials and the word for a network.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Three abbreviations of one company name across one record is what happens when each allocation is labelled from scratch. The two-letter version is the extreme case: unique, valid and unreadable.
• Sixty blocks with a registry-held one among them, thirty-two upstreams and no reverse names at all, is a network built by acquisition and operated without any outward-facing naming.
