Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Baptist Health
business enterprise infrastructure
Four blocks, four naming conventions, and six upstreams for a hospital system.
What it's used for
- A hospital system's network. 2,048 addresses across four IPv4 prefixes, with six observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The netnames are
BH-29-NET,BH-29-NET-2,162-39-180-0andNETBLK-AR-CBS-184-191-216-0. - The last of those is registered to
Cox Communications Inc.rather than to the hospital. - Twelve addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
- The AS first appeared in routing on
2000-08-18.
Interesting
- Six neighbours is a lot for four small blocks, and for a hospital it is the whole point. Electronic records, imaging transfers and remote consultation all stop when connectivity stops, so the network is built to lose several links and keep working. Most organisations this size run two.
- One netname is the address itself with dashes, which is what a registry generates when the applicant offers no name. Another simply appends a second number to an existing name, the cheapest possible way to file a second block.
- The carrier-registered record folds a state abbreviation and a business-services brand into the name, so it identifies the product line before it identifies the customer.
- Publishing nothing in reverse DNS is the right default for a network under health privacy rules, where even a hostname can suggest what a system does.

Interconnection
Peering at a glance
Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers
6 upstream, 0 downstream and 6 adjacent networks observed; most-used upstreams first.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-20, 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: 442 networks and 1,778 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. 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.
