About this network

The company writes its own name two different ways on two of its own blocks.

What it's used for

• A communications company's network. Three IPv4 prefixes announced from the United States, no sixth-version space, seven hundred and sixty-eight addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• The AS handle is four letters from the holder's name followed by the autonomous system number itself, run together with no separator.
• Two blocks are the holder's own, under netnames of those four letters and the first part of each block's address.
• On one of them the registrant is in full capitals with the corporate form abbreviated and no full stop; on the other it is in mixed case with the stop present.
• The third block belongs to a carrier, and its netname stacks four things: the carrier's name, the word legacy, the name of a carrier it absorbed, and an address that is not this block's own.
• Nine addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• A handle carrying its own autonomous system number is redundant by definition, but it makes the label unique without needing a longer name, which is why small holders do it.
• Two spellings of one company on two blocks means two registrations typed at two times by two people. Nothing compares registrant strings, so the drift is permanent and invisible.
• The carrier's netname names the parent range rather than the block, so it describes where the space came from instead of what it is.
