Summary
Aetna
enterprise legacy
AETNA is the corporate network of Aetna, Inc., the health insurance company
headquartered at 151 Farmington Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut. Aetna has been
part of CVS Health since 2018.
What it's used for
- Aetna's own enterprise network: corporate connectivity, member- and provider-facing systems, and internal infrastructure.
- Announces roughly 16k IPv4 addresses, essentially all of it out of a single contiguous
206.213.0.0-range allocation.
Notable
- This is a classic Fortune-500 enterprise AS: a large company that runs its own multihomed network but sells no connectivity to anyone. It is not an ISP or a hosting provider despite the sizeable address count.
- ARIN records date the ASN registration to 1996, back when a large insurer building out its own internet presence was still a notable step.
Interesting
- Health insurers were among the earliest non-technology enterprises to get their own AS numbers, driven by the need to exchange claims data reliably with hospitals, clearinghouses, and employers.
