About this network

A French hosting provider specialising in health data, operating an address block and AS number inherited from an earlier ISP.

What it's used for

• Hosting for healthcare systems. One /19 of 8,192 addresses with seven observed BGP neighbours, no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The AS handle in the registry is NETPLUSCOM-LEGACY, and the block is registered as FR-NETPLUS-990412 with "NOC NETPLUS Communication" listed alongside Euris Health Cloud.
• The netname dates the allocation to April 1999. The whole inventory is that one block, announced whole.
• Seven neighbours for a single /19 is a well-connected footprint for its size.

Interesting

• The word "legacy" is in the handle itself. Someone updating the registration after the business changed hands chose to label the entry rather than rewrite it, which leaves a record that is both current and honest about where it came from.
• Health data hosting in France is a regulated activity: providers need a specific certification to hold patient records, and that requirement pushes hospitals and software vendors towards a small number of specialist hosts. Buying an established ISP's address space and AS number is a reasonable way to start, since it comes with routing history and peering that a new allocation does not.
