Summary
NORTHEAST ORTHOPAEDIC CLINIC, LLP
business enterprise infrastructure
A seven-letter label that can be read two different ways, and the record never settles it.
What it's used for
- A medical clinic's network. One IPv4 prefix announced from the United States, no IPv6, four thousand and ninety-six addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The AS handle and the netname are the same seven letters, and the holder line is a four-word name in capitals that shares only part of one word with them.
- Those letters split two ways. Read one way they are a shortened medical speciality and the number one. Read the other they are that speciality and the two letters of the compass direction in the holder's first word.
- Nothing else in the record decides between the readings, so both remain available.
- The single block is registered to the holder and is the entire announcement.
- Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- An abbreviation ambiguous between a counter and a place is a small illustration of what these fields cost. The person who wrote it knew which was meant, and no part of the record carries that knowledge.
- Four thousand addresses for one clinic is generous, and typical of a block issued when the size below it would have felt too tight to grow into.
- Two upstreams with nothing answering is a private network with redundant links: it reaches out and is not designed to be reached.

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 2026-10-24, 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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. 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.
