Summary
CNNIC
registry china infrastructure critical
The AS handle CNNIC-CRITICAL-AP is held by CNNIC (China Internet Network Information Center).
What it's used for
- The address space carries registry and critical infrastructure functions, evidenced by netnames
CNNICandCNNIC-CRITICAL-CNand registrantsCNNIC IPAS CONFEDERATIONandIRT-CNNIC-CN. - The AS announces 11,520 IPv4 addresses across 20 prefixes and 120 IPv6 prefixes, with 10 observed neighbours, indicating a specialized infrastructure role rather than mass access or transit.
Notable
- Registrants consistently identify the holder as
CNNIC IPAS CONFEDERATIONorIRT-CNNIC-CN, aligning with the announcer's identity. - The inventory is finely subdivided into multiple /22, /23, and /24 blocks within the 218.241.0.0/16 and 125.208.0.0/16 ranges, characteristic of an internal corporate estate.

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: 432 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.
