Transit APNIC
Summary
PCCW Global
transit backbone
PCCW Global's international IP backbone (CONSOLE-CONNECT-ASN) — a major carrier especially strong across Asia and on trans-Pacific and Middle East routes.
What it's used for
- Global IP transit and wholesale connectivity to ISPs, content networks, and enterprises.
- Underpins Console Connect, PCCW Global's on-demand interconnection platform.
Notable
- One of the more prominent Asia-headquartered global backbones (parent PCCW is based in Hong Kong), frequently seen carrying traffic into and across Asia.
Interesting
- Its reach into markets that US/European backbones cover less densely makes AS3491 a common transit hop for Asia-Pacific paths.

Classification and threat
Transit Tier-1 or major backbone carrying other networks’ traffic.
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: 443 networks and 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
