Summary

Nova Scotia Provincial Government

Canada · AI-generated

government health canada

NS-PROVINCIAL is operated by the Nova Scotia Provincial Government.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries government and healthcare infrastructure, evidenced by netnames NSPG-NET, IWKHC, and PROVINCE-OF-NOVA-SCOTIA.
  • The AS announces 6656 IPv4 addresses across 5 prefixes with only 1 observed neighbour, indicating a small, self-contained internal network rather than a transit or large access provider.

Notable

  • Registrants align with the announcer, including the Nova Scotia Provincial Government and Izaak Walton Killam Health Centre.
  • The inventory consists of five distinct IPv4 blocks, including a /20 and three /22s, all located in Canada.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-16, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Reputation

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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
