Summary
REANNZ
education research nz backbone
The AS handle REANNZ-CORP-NZ-AP is held by Research and Education Advanced Network New Zealand.
What it's used for
- The address space carries research and education traffic, evidenced by the netname
REANNZand reverse DNS entries liketuakiri-vho-test.reannz.co.nz. - The AS announces 1536 IPv4 addresses across 4 prefixes and 4 IPv6 prefixes, with only 2 observed neighbours, indicating a role as a national research and education backbone rather than a transit provider.
- Traffic from this network consists of academic and scientific data flows, institutional connectivity, and research infrastructure endpoints across New Zealand.
Notable
- All registrants for the announced prefixes are listed as Research and Education Advanced Network New Zealand, matching the AS holder.
- The address inventory is finely subdivided into four distinct IPv4 blocks, reflecting internal segmentation for different institutional or regional segments within the national network.

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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
