Summary
Ministry of Economy (Argentina)
government legacy
The network of Argentina's Ministry of Economy (Ministerio de Economía),
registered from Hipólito Yrigoyen 250 in Buenos Aires. Despite the ARIN-era
records, this is a LACNIC-managed government network.
What it's used for
- Government networking for the Ministry of Economy and the offices it hosts.
- Announces roughly 36k IPv4 addresses, all inside
168.101.0.0/16, with reverse DNS uniformly undermecon.gov.ar— the ministry's own domain.
Notable
- Government address space, not an ISP: the rDNS pattern (
h168-101-x-y.mecon.gov.ar) is a flat, ministry-wide naming scheme, with no subscriber-style DSL or CGNAT hostnames anywhere in the block. - The generic handle "Ministry of Economy" is easy to misattribute — the registrant address places it firmly in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Interesting
- A large legacy /16 held by a single national ministry is unusual outside the early-allocation era; the address space is used to number a national government department rather than to sell connectivity.
