Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Edward Health Service Corp
healthcare enterprise legacy
The network of Edward Hospital and its associated health services in the western suburbs of Chicago.
What it's used for
- Hospital and clinic systems. 1,280 addresses over four prefixes with two observed BGP neighbours, no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- Four prefixes carry four carriers' fingerprints.
EEH-PUBIPis the hospital's own;CCCH3-4is Comcast's;SBC-65-42-192-0-24-0708070819is SBC's, with a ten-digit stamp on the end; andQ0605-216-207-220-0carries theQprefix and a0605date that Qwest used on its assignments. - Reverse DNS matches the split. One block answers under
ded.ameritech.net, the "dedicated" space of SBC's midwestern brand; another answers underedward.org, the hospital's own domain.
Interesting
- This is what a hospital's procurement history looks like from the outside. Four blocks from four different providers, each labelled in that provider's house style, all announced under one AS number so the hospital can change any of them without renumbering anything.
- The Comcast netname
CCCH3-4also turns up on a block announced by Ascensus at AS12152. It is not a customer identifier at all — it labels a Comcast pool that assignments are cut from, so the same string appears across unrelated businesses. Netnames look like names and are frequently nothing of the kind.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-11-07, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 454 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-11-08. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
