AS18368 APNIC-ANYCAST - Asia Pacific Network Information Centre
Hosting APNIC Non-Profit
Summary
APNIC
registry infrastructure anycast nonprofit
APNIC-ANYCAST is operated by Asia Pacific Network Information Centre.
What it's used for
- The space carries APNIC's own infrastructure services, evidenced by the netname
APNIC-SERVICESand registrantIRT-APNIC-IS-AP. - The AS announces 256 IPv4 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefix, with only 2 observed neighbours, indicating a small, dedicated infrastructure footprint rather than a transit or access network.
Notable
- Registrants align with the announcer, identifying the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre as the holder.
- The address inventory consists of a single IPv4 /24 block and one IPv6 /48 prefix, reflecting a minimal, purpose-specific allocation for registry operations.

Interconnection
Peering at a glance
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 2026-11-03, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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: 451 networks and 1,853 prefixes, as published 2026-11-04. 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.
