AS11628 — OICR-ONTARIO-INSTITUTE-FOR-CANCER-RESEARCHB
AS11628 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 2,304 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.
About this network
OICR-ONTARIO-INSTITUTE-FOR-CANCER-RESEARCHB belongs to the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research, the provincially funded not-for-profit cancer research institute based at the MaRS Discovery District in Toronto. RIS sees 2 IPv4 prefixes, about 2,304 addresses, no IPv6, and 2 observed BGP neighbours.
What it's used for
Research-institute connectivity: laboratory and office networking, and the genomics and computational-biology workloads that dominate a modern cancer institute — sequencing pipelines, large data archives, and the collaborative data-sharing that comes with international consortium work. The shape of the inventory says end-site, not carrier. A /21 registered directly to OICR under the OICRNET handle is the institute's own space; the second prefix, 159.18.95.0/24, registers to Zayo Bandwidth, which is provider-assigned space announced by the customer rather than a third-party registrant of the kind that would signal leased or brokered addresses. Two BGP neighbours against roughly two thousand addresses is exactly what a research end-site with a couple of upstreams looks like: it buys transit, it does not sell it.
Notable
The address count is small for a research institute, and that is the point. OICR's heavy lifting is not done on public IPv4 — institutions of this kind run their science on private RFC 1918 space behind a small public edge, and reach national research infrastructure over dedicated research-network paths rather than through the commodity internet. Two prefixes and two neighbours describe the front door, not the building.
