Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center
research education infrastructure
Two prefixes, two institutions, one AS number, and one way in or out.
What it's used for
- A cancer research centre's network. 73,728 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The two blocks are
140.107.0.0/16, netnameFHCRC, and72.14.32.0/19, netnameSEATTLECANCERCAREALLIANCE. - The first registers to
The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Centerwith a network operations contact; the second registers toSeattle Cancer Care Alliance. - The routing archive first saw this AS in 2003, well after the archive itself began.
- Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Two institutions under one AS number is a shared network between organisations that treat and research the same disease. Neither gave up its own registration, so the registry still shows two bodies while the routing table shows one.
- The second netname is the organisation's entire name with the spaces removed, where the first is four initials. Both are legal, and the difference is only who typed the form.
- One neighbour for 73,728 addresses is a research network with a single upstream, which is what a medical institution buys when the requirement is a connection that works rather than one that survives a provider failing.
- Nothing answers a reverse lookup here. A network holding patient and research systems has no reason to describe any of its addresses to the outside.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-18, 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 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
