Summary
WorldLink Communications
residential isp cable dsl
WLINK-NEPAL-AS-AP is operated by WorldLink Communications Pvt Ltd.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and enterprise access traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries like
0.16.34.27.dynamic.wlink.com.npand netnames such asWLINK_STATIC_ENT_JNKP_NET_V255. - With 73,216 IPv4 addresses announced across 65 prefixes and 38 observed neighbours, the high address-to-neighbour ratio indicates an access/eyeball network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants for the majority of prefixes are consistent with the announcer, listing "WorldLink Communications" and IRT-WLINK-NP, while some enterprise blocks are registered to IRT-ENTERPRISE-1_NP.
- The inventory is finely subdivided into numerous /21 and /22 blocks, reflecting a segmented internal estate for different service tiers or regions.
- WorldLink is a major cable and DSL internet service provider in Nepal.

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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
