AS14095 — HCMH-3-AS

AS14095 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 256 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

A counter sits in the middle of the handle, between the initials and the record type.

What it's used for

• A community hospital's network. 256 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The AS handle is HCMH-3-AS, four initials, a counter and the record type.
• The whole footprint is 204.48.41.0/24, carrying the netname HUGHCHATHAM and registered to the hospital.
• That netname runs the first half of the name together and drops the rest.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Counters normally go on the end. Putting one in the middle means the record type was appended later by a different process than the one that numbered it, and the digit implies two earlier records under the same initials.
• The two identifiers approach the same name from opposite directions: one keeps only the initials, the other keeps only the words, so neither can be matched to the other by string comparison and both need the registrant between them.
• A hospital running its own number on one upstream is worth stating plainly, because the systems behind it are the ones people notice when they stop working.
• No IPv6 is announced and nothing is published in the reverse DNS.
