About this network

Every field agrees, and then the reverse names write the address backwards.

What it's used for

• A city government'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, the netname and the registrant are the same string: the words for a city, its name and a two-letter state code.
• The single block is registered to the city itself and is the whole announcement.
• All three queried addresses answered, on a domain that begins with the word go, then the city name and the state code run together.
• Each name is the address with its four parts in reverse order, hyphenated, so the last part leads and the first trails.
• Two observed neighbours carry the one block.

Interesting

• An address written backwards in a reverse name is the lookup zone's own ordering left in place. The zone is queried in reverse, and a generator that builds the label from that order rather than from the address produces this without anyone noticing.
• A promotional domain fronting a municipal network is a tourism and services brand doing double duty. The registry says city government; the reverse zone says visit us.
• Three fields in exact agreement on a public body is the ordinary result of one office filling in one form once, which is rarer here than it sounds.
