What it's used for
- The address space carries internal network infrastructure for the Australian Parliament, as indicated by the netname
DPS-MEM-AUand registrant "Department of Parliamentary Services". - The AS announces 8,448 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes with only 1 observed neighbour, indicating a small, self-contained internal network rather than a transit or access provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of internal communications, office workers, and parliamentary services supporting the Senate and House of Representatives.
Notable
- All registrants align with the announcer, consistently listing "Department of Parliamentary Services" and the netname
DPS-MEM-AU. - The address inventory is finely subdivided into three distinct prefixes, reflecting site-by-site segmentation within the parliamentary 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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
