AS13510 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 512 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

A hospital system's one answering address is a machine named after a cartoon ghost.

What it's used for

• A health system's network. 512 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• 107.0.153.0/24 is netname JUMPSTART-5, registered to a cable company rather than the hospital.
• The other prefix's registry lookup failed, so nothing is known about its registration here.
• One sampled address answers as casper.bhs.org, under the health system's own domain.
• First seen in the routing archive on 2007-06-19, an actual date rather than the archive's start.

Interesting

• Naming servers after characters is the oldest convention in the business and the one that survives longest, because a name people remember is worth more than a name that describes anything. A machine called after a friendly ghost has probably outlived several of the people who found it funny.
• JUMPSTART is the cable operator's product name for a business connection with routable addresses, and the 5 counts which allocation this was. The netname describes the sales package, not the customer.
• Two /24s from two sources with no IPv6 is a hospital treating internet connectivity as a utility with a spare. Everything that matters clinically is inside, and the outside exists to be reachable.
