One block is registered to the address registry itself, and it answers on the provider's domain anyway.

What it's used for

• A provider's network. Fifteen prefixes announced from Canada, two of them IPv6, nine thousand nine hundred and eighty-four addresses, through three observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The record carries two handles for the same network: one built on the consumer brand, one on the holding company's name. Both end in this network's own number.
• Most blocks are named with the consumer brand, the word for a network, the address, and a trailing numeral. Two of those netnames name a parent range rather than the block itself.
• One block's registrant is the regional address registry, under a netname that is the word for a network and a number. Another belongs to a national carrier, a third to an unrelated company.
• Five of eighteen queried addresses answered. Three name the province and an access technology meaning fibre to the home, on the consumer brand's domain.
• The other two are on the block registered to the registry, and they answer on the holding company's own domain with a label naming an older access technology.

Interesting

• Address space still registered to the registry is usually space returned, reassigned or never fully transferred. Somebody is announcing it and naming it, which is the working definition of possession here.
• Two access technologies in one reverse zone is a provider's history written in labels. The old customers are on one, the new ones on the other, and the names will outlive both.
