AS14954 — FHCRC

AS14954 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 73,728 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

Two prefixes, two institutions, one AS number, and one way in or out.

What it's used for

• A cancer research centre's network. 73,728 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The two blocks are 140.107.0.0/16, netname FHCRC, and 72.14.32.0/19, netname SEATTLECANCERCAREALLIANCE.
• The first registers to The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center with a network operations contact; the second registers to Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.
• The routing archive first saw this AS in 2003, well after the archive itself began.
• Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Two institutions under one AS number is a shared network between organisations that treat and research the same disease. Neither gave up its own registration, so the registry still shows two bodies while the routing table shows one.
• The second netname is the organisation's entire name with the spaces removed, where the first is four initials. Both are legal, and the difference is only who typed the form.
• One neighbour for 73,728 addresses is a research network with a single upstream, which is what a medical institution buys when the requirement is a connection that works rather than one that survives a provider failing.
• Nothing answers a reverse lookup here. A network holding patient and research systems has no reason to describe any of its addresses to the outside.
