About this network

The netname ends in a ten-digit number, and the registrant begins with a site identifier.

What it's used for

• A software company's network. One IPv4 prefix announced from the United States, no sixth-version space, two hundred and fifty-six addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The AS handle is the holder's first word alone, one run-together word.
• The single block belongs to a carrier, and its netname stacks five things: a five-letter carrier short form, the block's address, its size, and a ten-digit number.
• That ten-digit number is longer than anything else in the record and matches nothing in the address.
• The registrant is not the holder either. It starts with three letters for a site identifier and a four-digit number, then a two-letter code, then a dash, then a shipping company's name.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Long numbers in a netname come from the carrier's own order system, not from anything about the network. The label is a foreign key into a database nobody outside the carrier can read, and it will outlive the order it refers to.
• The registrant naming a marine terminal operator while the handle names a software firm is a parent and its subsidiary in adjacent fields. The addresses were ordered by the group; the routing was set up by the part of it that writes the software.
• Two upstreams and nothing answering: a business whose product runs inside other people's ports.
