About this network

Ten blocks share one netname and one site code, and the eleventh keeps the registry's legacy prefix.

What it's used for

• A bank's network. Eleven IPv4 prefixes announced from Canada, no sixth-version space, five thousand six hundred and thirty-two addresses, through three observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The AS handle is the two letters for an autonomous system, the number, a dash, and the holder's full four-word name.
• Ten blocks, at four different sizes, all carry one netname: the bank's three initials run together with the word for a network.
• Their registrant is the full name followed by a semicolon and a code that reads as three initials, a three-letter word for a point of presence, and a zero-padded counter.
• The eleventh block sits in a different parent range, is registered without that code, and its netname carries the registry's legacy block prefix ahead of the initials.
• One of eighteen queried addresses answered, on a six-letter domain that is not the bank's name, with a hostname of five letters and a three-digit number.

Interesting

• Ten blocks under one netname and one site code is a single facility that kept being extended. Each new range was filed against the same label rather than given its own, so the registry shows a place rather than a purpose.
• The odd block out is older: the legacy prefix marks a record predating the current registration format, which is why it alone missed the site code that was applied to everything else.
