About this network

A seven-letter label that can be read two different ways, and the record never settles it.

What it's used for

• A medical clinic'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 and the netname are the same seven letters, and the holder line is a four-word name in capitals that shares only part of one word with them.
• Those letters split two ways. Read one way they are a shortened medical speciality and the number one. Read the other they are that speciality and the two letters of the compass direction in the holder's first word.
• Nothing else in the record decides between the readings, so both remain available.
• The single block is registered to the holder and is the entire announcement.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• An abbreviation ambiguous between a counter and a place is a small illustration of what these fields cost. The person who wrote it knew which was meant, and no part of the record carries that knowledge.
• Four thousand addresses for one clinic is generous, and typical of a block issued when the size below it would have felt too tight to grow into.
• Two upstreams with nothing answering is a private network with redundant links: it reaches out and is not designed to be reached.
