About this network

One reverse name loses its last letters, and the lookup zone is appended to the wreckage.

What it's used for

• A provider's network. Seven IPv4 prefixes announced from Argentina, no sixth-version space, six thousand nine hundred and twelve addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• Every netname is an address range written with spaces around the dash, and the seven blocks resolve to just two such ranges, each named for its parent rather than for itself.
• All eighteen queried addresses answered, on one provider domain, and the names describe services: a mobile broadband standard, a core, a wireless dynamic pool, a fixed wireless product, voice, and one marked reserved.
• Most carry a three or four-letter locality code, and two name a city outright.
• One name is cut short. The domain ends mid-suffix, one letter into its final part, and the reverse lookup zone for the address is appended after it.

Interesting

• The truncated name is a generator writing into a fixed-width field. The domain overran, the tail was dropped, and because the record still ends in the lookup zone it answers a query and looks valid.
• Names at both the first and last address of a range mean the whole range was templated at once, so addresses nobody has ever used still resolve.
• Voice, mobile and fixed wireless labels on one provider's space is a service history in the zone file: each product line got its own word, and none of the words were ever retired.
