Some real-world router/switch names:
Note that there is real information encoded in those names.
The ability to completely list of all the domain names under, for
example, Level3.net, would give a tremendous amount of information
about the structure of their network. One could gather the same
information using thousands of traceroutes, or perhaps by a very
carefully crafted dictionary attack, but the amount of work involved
would be orders of magnitude greater.
