About this network

Two reverse names, one template, and the same label written in two different cases.

What it's used for

• A telephone cooperative's network. Eleven IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 prefix announced from the United States, twenty-three thousand five hundred and fifty-two addresses, through six observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Ten blocks are the cooperative's own, under six different netnames: three initials alone, those initials with a numbered block, those initials with the word for a network and the word wireless, two service acronyms with a counter, and the company name run together with two four-letter service acronyms.
• The eleventh belongs to a school district, listed only by its three-letter type and its number, under a netname of the legacy block prefix, a town and that number.
• Two of eighteen queried addresses answered, both on the same domain, both built the same way: the first three parts of the address with dots, a two-letter label, the last part, then the domain.
• One writes that two-letter label in capitals and the other in lower case.

Interesting

• Six netnames for one cooperative reads like a service catalogue: each label names a product line, and together they trace a telephone company adding wireless, then television, then fibre and voice.
• The same generator producing two cases for one label means the zone was edited by hand in at least two sittings. Lookups ignore case, so nothing ever forced the two to agree.
