NEXLINX-AS-AP is the autonomous system for Nexlinx Networks (Pvt) Limited.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries residential and business access traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as 116-58-43-254.nexlinx.net.pk and 116-58-75-254.telenex.com.pk.
  • The AS announces 30464 IPv4 addresses across 37 prefixes and 6 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining only 4 observed neighbours, a ratio characteristic of an access network rather than a transit provider.

Notable

  • All sampled registrants are consistent with the announcer, listing NEXLINX NETWORKS (PVT) LIMITED under the netname NEXLINX-AP.
  • The inventory is heavily subdivided into small blocks, primarily within the 116.58.0.0/16 range, with a smaller allocation in 202.59.0.0/16.

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: 431 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
