Summary
ErdemNet (Mongolian National Research and Education Network)
ASN-ERDEMNET is ErdemNet, Mongolia's National Research and Education Network. It connects the country's universities, institutes and schools, and is the Mongolian counterpart to networks like AARNet or JANET.
What it's used for
ErdemNet was stood up in June 2000 under an ADB-funded education programme to link the major universities in Ulaanbaatar, originally hauling Internet traffic off the Agila-2 satellite and redistributing it over microwave. It has since moved to fibre and expanded, via the "New Century Education" project, into a genuinely national footprint covering the provinces. Governance moved in 2020 out of the Mongolian University of Science and Technology to an Information and Technology Centre state-owned enterprise under the education ministry, so it is now a state academic network rather than a single university's.
Notable
This is education, not a commercial ISP, and the routing agrees. RIS sees roughly 4,608 IPv4 addresses across a handful of prefixes anchored on a single 202.5.192.0/20, plus one 2404:ec80::/32 IPv6 allocation, and only 5 observed BGP neighbours. That combination is diagnostic: a modest, contiguous, long-held block and almost no peering is what an NREN looks like when it buys upstream from one or two national carriers and hands capacity down to member campuses. A commercial provider of the same size would carry far more customer-facing fragmentation.
Interesting
The handle carries its own history: AS-ERDEMNET was renamed ASN-ERDEMNET purely to stop it colliding with RPSL's as-set grammar, and the awkward name has outlived the reason for it. ErdemNet also peers into TEIN, the Asia-Europe research backbone.

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 2026-10-13, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
