Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Equinix Asia Pacific
hosting datacenter interconnect
ASN-EQIX-MELBOURNE-AP is operated by Equinix Asia Pacific.
What it's used for
- The address space carries prefixes registered to distinct corporate entities, including
KUTAMO-AU(Kutamo Pty Ltd),ERI-GLOBAL(Ericsson Inc.), andAHPP-AU(Asahi Holdings (Australia) Pty Ltd). - The AS announces 768 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, with 8 observed neighbours, indicating a role focused on interconnection and hosting rather than broad residential access.
Notable
- Registrants for the announced prefixes do not match the AS holder, indicating that Equinix holds the AS number while the specific IP blocks are allocated to or managed by third-party customers or partners.
- The inventory consists of three distinct /24 IPv4 blocks and a single /33 IPv6 prefix, reflecting a fragmented address estate typical of a data center interconnection provider managing diverse customer allocations.

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 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
