Summary
KDDI America
transit legacy
KDDIA-NET is the network of KDDI America, Inc., the US arm of Japanese telecom carrier KDDI, headquartered in New York and established in 1989.
What it's used for
- Carrier and enterprise connectivity in North America: internet access, site-to-site and SD-WAN networking, peering, and data-center services.
- Serving Japanese multinationals with US operations, alongside general wholesale and enterprise customers.
Notable
- This is carrier address space rather than eyeball broadband — the prefixes back business circuits, colocation, and managed services, not home subscribers.
- Registered with ARIN in 1995, when the international carriers that would later merge into KDDI were building out their US footprint.
Interesting
- KDDI itself is one of Japan's largest mobile and fixed-line operators; the American subsidiary has broadened well past pure telecom into IoT, connected cars, wholesale SMS, and IT managed services.

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 2026-10-19, 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: 442 networks and 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. 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.
