AS16724 announces 37 IPv4 prefixes covering 20,480 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

One reverse name ends in the lookup zone itself, so it points at nothing.

What it's used for

• A cable operator's network. Forty-two IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 prefix announced from the United States, twenty thousand four hundred and eighty addresses, through sixteen observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The AS handle joins the operator's three-letter brand, the words for a data centre, and the word for a network.
• Most blocks are registered to the holder but carry a different company's three initials with a numbered network, counting from one to five.
• One block belongs to a company whose name is that of a service, under a netname of that name and part of an address. Another is registered to a name that is itself a domain in capitals, under a netname joining four things including a long-gone carrier's brand.
• Three of eighteen queried addresses answered, on three unrelated domains: one for hosting with a three-letter airport code, one a newsletter service, and one that is not a domain at all.
• That third name is the address reversed, with the reverse lookup zone appended in place of a domain.

Interesting

• A name ending in the lookup zone is a template whose domain field came out empty. It answers, it looks ordinary in a log, and it resolves to nothing.
• Five numbered networks under initials that are not the holder's is an acquired provider's naming carried forward whole. The registrant changed; the labels never did.
