AS11324 AS11324 - BRFHH SHREVEPORT, L.L.C.

AS11324 is held by BRFHH Shreveport, L.L.C. — the hospital-holding entity created by the Biomedical Research Foundation of Northwest Louisiana when it took over the LSU teaching hospital in Shreveport under Louisiana's 2013 charity-hospital privatisation. The hospital has since run as Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport, following the 2018 partnership between LSU Health Shreveport and Ochsner Health, and the netname on the routed space says so directly: OLHS-PUBLIC-01.

What it's used for

An academic medical centre's public edge. RIS sees 3 IPv4 prefixes, 768 addresses, no IPv6 and a single observed neighbour — three consecutive /24s (104.153.252.0/24, 104.153.254.0/24, 104.153.255.0/24), all registered to BRFHH Shreveport itself, all reached through one upstream. Registrant and origin agree on every prefix; there is no third-party registrant, no second RIR, nothing that resembles leased or brokered address space.

Notable

The netname is the most informative single field in the pack. OLHS-PUBLIC-01 — Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport, public — states the block's purpose: the internet-facing tier of the hospital, held apart from the clinical estate that lives on private address space behind it. That is why the routed footprint is three /24s for an institution with a hospital, a medical school affiliation and a research programme attached. The routed space measures the edge, not the enterprise.

One neighbour and 768 addresses is unambiguous as a role signal. This network sells no connectivity and transits nobody; it exists so that a hospital can hold its own portable addresses for VPN endpoints, remote clinician access, payer and referral interfaces, and its public web presence.
