About this network

A small-town hospital with its own AS number, its own block, and two upstreams.

What it's used for

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

Notable

• The whole footprint is 170.76.203.0/24, carrying the netname WAVER-2.
• That netname truncates the town's name and adds a counter.
• The AS handle pairs a shorter truncation with a state abbreviation.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Small hospitals rarely hold their own routing infrastructure; most take addresses from whichever carrier serves the building. This one has a number, a block registered in its own name and two paths, which is a level of independence usually seen several sizes up.
• The state code in the handle is the only geographic marker in the record, and it matters here because town names repeat across states.
• The counter on the netname implies an earlier block, retired or never announced, and the registry keeps no trace of what happened to it.
• Two upstreams for a hospital is the arrangement that matters: when one carrier fails, the systems that schedule and record patient care stay reachable.
