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.

Interconnection

Internet exchanges
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 2026-10-10, 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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
