About this network

One netname's address does not match the block it labels, off by a hundred in one position.

What it's used for

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

Notable

• The AS handle joins the operator's short brand, the word for a network, and three letters taken from an acquired provider's name.
• The seven blocks carry three different registrants: the holder, a fixed wireless arm under the short brand, and that acquired provider under its own name.
• Four netnames are the block's own address and size written with hyphens instead of dots and slash. One of those four adds a suffix naming the protocol that hands out addresses automatically.
• On that block, the netname's address differs from the real one in the second position, reading a hundred higher than the block it labels.
• All eighteen queried addresses answered, every one the address hyphenated, a word meaning fixed, and the operator's short brand domain.

Interesting

• A netname derived from an address is a template, and templates are typed by hand once. A single wrong digit is invisible to every system, because nothing validates a netname against the block it names.
• One reverse domain across three registrants is the tell that the acquisitions have been absorbed operationally even though the registry still lists them separately.
