AS16716 announces 4 IPv4 prefixes covering 1,536 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The netname's three letters are both the company's initials and a corporate form it does not use.

What it's used for

• A provider's network. Four IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 prefix announced from the United States, one thousand five hundred and thirty-six addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The AS handle takes the second word of the holder's name and adds the two letters for an autonomous system, dropping the first and third words entirely.
• All four blocks are registered to the holder and share one netname: three letters and a two-digit number.
• Those three letters are the initials of the holder's first three words. They are also the abbreviation for a common corporate form, which this company does not have; its own form is a different one.
• The two-digit number matches nothing else in the record.
• Twelve addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• An abbreviation that collides with a legal term is a small trap. A reader who knows the convention will read the field as a corporate form and be wrong, and nothing in the record corrects them.
• Four blocks from four unrelated parent ranges under one label is a provider that has bought space wherever it was available and filed all of it under a single name.
• Two upstreams, nothing answering, and a handle naming a lake: a small operator whose identity is its place, spelled four different ways depending on which field you read.
