This sort of endearing Internet-scale thing reminds me of how NTT changes their reverse DNS's ( https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2016-February/0841... ). There's other vanity reverse-DNS tricks that you can see in traceroutes, but this is done with a global-scale IPv4/IPv6 network that actually is carrying a lot of customer traffic. Try "traceroute ntt.net" now, you'll see hops like: 9 ae-19.sayonara-todd.r0…

I agree (irony warning!) those IPv4 addresses would be best used for Hue lamps or something, no? On a more serious note, I've been watching IPv6 "rolling out" since 2004 (which is when I had an active role in mobile network planning), and I'm somewhat saddened that we haven't yet been able to switch over completely (even if it is somewhat more awkward to shout IPv6 addresses across the room, which was one of the argu…
thats why we use DNS more effectively. A tool is only useful is if it implemented correctly. it would be easier and faster with well thought out DNS to yell a name across the room. (would have been my response to that silly argument)
To clarify those of you who haven't worked in a telco core: You can't rely on DNS to configure core network gear. EVERYTHING of consequence is done using IP addresses, DNS is a convenience/comfort service for outer layers and end users.
There's 28,000 IP addresses that could be used for something worthwhile instead of hoarded by clowns playing games with BGP to draw internet cats.

That is amazing. Does anyone have similar examples of weird technological art?

traceroute -I -q 1 trh.milek7.pl
whats a RIPE interface?
From their About us page: "We’re the Regional Internet Registry for Europe, the Middle East and parts of Central Asia. As such, we allocate and register blocks of Internet number resources to Internet service providers (ISPs) and other organisations." This interface is the historical bgp announcements for this particular ASN. The X access is time. The Y axis is ip address blocks.
