About this network

A medical bill-review company with a /22 and a handle that says which environment it is.

What it's used for

• Corporate connectivity. 1,024 addresses in a single /22 with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The AS handle is MEDATA-PROD-AS, with PROD in the middle of it.
• The one block is 199.101.232.0/22.
• One prefix, one neighbour, no IPv6.

Interesting

• Putting PROD in an AS handle is an internal naming convention escaping into a public registry. It only makes sense next to a non-production sibling, so somewhere in this company's documentation there is a test environment named the same way, whether or not it ever got an AS number of its own.
• It is also a small piece of information the company did not mean to publish. Anyone reading the registry now knows that this AS carries production traffic, which is exactly the sort of detail internal naming schemes leak when they meet a database everyone can read.
• Medata reviews medical bills for workers' compensation insurers, repricing claims against fee schedules. The work is document processing at scale against data that is medical, financial and legal at once, which is a great deal of sensitivity behind a single /22.
