AS10236 ATS-ASIA-NETWORK-AS-AP AXA Technology Services Asia HK Limited

ATS-ASIA-NETWORK-AS-AP is AXA Technology Services Asia (HK) Limited — the regional IT-infrastructure arm of AXA, the French insurance and asset-management group. AS10236 is a corporate network, not a service sold to third parties.

What it's used for

Connectivity for AXA's Asian operations: the group's Hong Kong offices at the AXA Centre in Wanchai, regional data-centre presence, and the internal WAN that ties AXA's Asian insurance entities to their shared IT platforms. AXA Technology Services was the group's internal infrastructure company, the unit that ran networks and data centres on behalf of AXA's operating businesses rather than for outside customers.

The AS announces 7 IPv4 prefixes totalling 1,024 addresses — a single 171.18.48.0/22 plus its own more-specific /23s and /24s — and no IPv6. Deaggregating one /22 down to its constituent /24s is a traffic-engineering habit, not growth: it lets each quarter of the block be pinned to a particular upstream or site.

Notable

This is an enterprise network. A thousand addresses with three observed BGP neighbours is exactly the profile of a multi-homed corporate edge: enough diversity to survive a provider failure, nowhere near enough adjacency count to be selling transit. There is no eyeball signal here — no subscriber-pool naming, no consumer-scale address pool. Anything routed in 171.18.48.0/22 should be read as AXA corporate infrastructure in Hong Kong, not as retail broadband and not as general-purpose hosting.
