Summary
Province of British Columbia
government legacy
The provincial government network of British Columbia
(PROVINCE-OF-BRITISH-COLUMBIA), Canada.
What it's used for
- Networking for BC's ministries, agencies, and public-sector programs across the province.
- Announcing a large legacy allocation — close to a million IPv4 addresses — supporting government offices, services, and connected public institutions.
Notable
- Government address space. Hosts here belong to a provincial administration, so treat traffic as institutional rather than consumer or commercial.
- The size of the allocation is the striking part: this is one of the larger sub-national government address holdings, reflecting an era when public bodies could obtain generous blocks directly.
Interesting
- A provincial government running its own autonomous system, with its own address space and routing policy, is a reminder that "the internet" was assembled from institutions long before it was assembled from ISPs.
