AS45657 NSWRFS-AS-AP - NSW Rural Fire Service
Unclassified APNIC
Summary
NSW Rural Fire Service
government emergency volunteer fire
NSWRFS-AS-AP is operated by NSW Rural Fire Service.
What it's used for
- The address space carries infrastructure for the New South Wales Rural Fire Service, a volunteer-based firefighting agency and statutory body under the Government of New South Wales.
- The AS announces 1536 IPv4 addresses across 5 prefixes with 2 observed neighbours, indicating a small-scale internal network rather than a transit or large access provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of internal communications, operational coordination, and administrative endpoints for the fire service's staff and volunteers.
Notable
- All registrants for the announced prefixes are consistent with the announcer, listing "NSW Rural Fire Service" as the network administrator under the netname
NSWRFS-AP. - The address inventory is small and segmented into five distinct prefixes, reflecting the internal network structure of a single government agency.

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 2026-11-03, 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: 451 networks and 1,853 prefixes, as published 2026-11-04. 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.
