Summary
BOC International (BOCI)
enterprise finance hong-kong
BOCI-HK-AP belongs to BOC International Holdings Limited, the Hong Kong-based investment-banking and securities arm of Bank of China. BOCI runs brokerage, asset management, futures and corporate-finance businesses out of Hong Kong.
What it's used for
- The firm's own internet edge: mail gateways, the client-facing trading and research portals, and the links between its Hong Kong offices and the wider Bank of China group.
Notable
The reverse DNS and the routing agree that this is an enterprise network. The one PTR in the sample is mailgw03e.bocigroup.com — a numbered corporate mail gateway in the holder's own domain. That is first-party infrastructure: it tells you the space carries BOCI's own services, not a customer base.
The topology says the same. RIS observes 2 announced IPv4 prefixes totalling 512 addresses (202.128.104.0/24 and 202.128.105.0/24, an adjacent pair), no IPv6, and 2 observed neighbours. Two upstreams and a /23-worth of addresses is the standard dual-homed corporate edge — announce your own space so you are not tied to a carrier's addresses, buy transit from two of them so one outage is not an outage. Anything selling connectivity would peer with far more than two ASes, and any eyeball network would need vastly more than 512 addresses.
Interesting
The -HK-AP handle and the APNIC-range prefixes place this firmly in Hong Kong, not mainland China: BOCI is the group's offshore investment bank, licensed and regulated by the SFC, and its network edge lives where its regulator does.

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 1,781 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
