Unclassified APNIC Non-Profit
Summary
APNIC
registry infrastructure anycast nonprofit
APNIC-ANYCAST is held by APNIC (Asia Pacific Network Information Centre).
What it's used for
- The space carries APNIC's own infrastructure, evidenced by the netname
APNIC-SERVICES-AUand the registrantAsia Pacific Network Information Centre. - The AS announces 256 IPv4 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefix against 3 observed neighbours, indicating a small, dedicated infrastructure footprint rather than a transit or access network.
Notable
- The registrant
Asia Pacific Network Information Centrealigns directly with the announcer, confirming the space is owned and operated by the registry itself. - The address inventory consists of a single IPv4 /24 block and a single IPv6 /48 block, representing a minimal, self-contained estate for the organization's services.

Interconnection

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 2026-11-07, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 454 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-11-08. 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.
