Every netname is the same template with a different date, and the dates read as a growth chart.

What it's used for

• A national telecommunications operator. Thirty-seven IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 /29 announced from Georgia, three hundred and one thousand three hundred and twelve addresses, across thirty-five observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Every block uses the country code, the brand, and a registration date, with no exceptions and no legacy formats anywhere in the record.
• The dates run steadily across a decade, one or two allocations a year, and the largest blocks carry the later dates: the operator kept coming back for more space as it grew.
• The contact list is identical on every block: an operations centre, the company with its legal form, and an abuse role whose name is the company in capitals followed by two words for handling complaints.
• Only three of eighteen queried addresses answered, all in the same form: the word for a host, the four octets hyphenated, then a label marking the address as a customer's.
• One IPv6 /29, a far larger allocation than the standard block most operators of this size hold.

Interesting

• A registry record with no inconsistencies at all is rarer than any single oddity. It means one team filled in every form, in the same way, for a decade, and nobody merged an acquisition into it.
• Marking customer addresses in the reverse name is the operator telling other networks which of its addresses are people rather than servers, which changes how mail and abuse systems treat them.
