Summary
GNS Science
government research legacy
GNS-NZ-AS-AP is the network of GNS Science, New Zealand's Crown Research Institute for geological and nuclear sciences.
What it's used for
- Research and institutional networking for a government-owned science agency: laboratories, staff, and the data systems behind its research programmes.
- Public-facing scientific services and datasets published by the institute.
Notable
- GNS Science is the organisation behind New Zealand's earthquake, volcano, and tsunami monitoring work, which means this network carries geophysical data from a country sitting directly on the Pacific Ring of Fire.
- Government research institutes were early adopters of internet connectivity for exactly this reason — continuous instrument data has to get somewhere — and that early arrival is reflected in the low AS number.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-11, 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: 432 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
