AS11507 MEDICINEHATCOLLEGE-ASN

MEDICINEHATCOLLEGE-ASN belongs to Medicine Hat College, a public post-secondary

college in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada, with a second campus in Brooks. The AS

carries the college's own campus network.

What it's used for

• Campus connectivity for a single institution: student and staff access, campus servers, and the college's public-facing services.
• Nothing in the routing suggests any role beyond that. RIS sees 3 announced IPv4 prefixes totalling 1,024 addresses and no IPv6, with just 2 observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• The size and shape are the classic single-site education profile. Neighbour count is the useful signal here: a wholesale or transit network peers with hundreds to thousands of ASes, while this one peers with a pair of upstreams. That is an end network buying transit, not selling it. The two-neighbour count most likely reflects a redundant pair of providers rather than any peering presence.
• All three prefixes are registered to Medicine Hat College itself, under the ARIN handles MHC-40 and MHC-COL. Holder and registrant agree on every prefix, which rules out the leased-space or third-party-registrant patterns that show up when an AS number is being used as a wrapper for somebody else's addresses.

Interesting

• The address space spans two eras of allocation: a 192.139.34.0/24 from the old Class C swamp and a later 204.209.40.0/23 plus 204.209.42.0/24. Both sit in Canadian allocation ranges and both stayed with the college, so the inventory reads as organic growth of one campus network rather than anything acquired or transferred.
