About this network

REDCROSS-ASN is the network of the American Red Cross, the US humanitarian organisation, registered from its Falls Church, Virginia offices.

What it's used for

• Enterprise networking for the Red Cross: national headquarters, regional chapters, blood-services operations and disaster-response infrastructure.
• Announces a contiguous run of prefixes drawn from 162.6.0.0/16, with reverse DNS in the form host-224-5.redcross.org — organisation-owned hosts, not subscriber pools.

Notable

• A non-profit with its own AS number and a full complement of address space is unusual; it reflects an organisation that has run nationwide, always-on networking (blood supply logistics, emergency response) for decades.
• Despite the low AS number, the traffic profile here is ordinary corporate networking — offices, servers, and site-to-site links.

Interesting

• The ARIN registration dates to 1996, placing the Red Cross among the earlier non-governmental organisations to take an autonomous system of its own.
