Summary
National Library of Australia
government research legacy
Autonomous System 4822 (NATIONAL-LIBRARY-AU) is the primary AS of the National Library of Australia, the country's national deposit library in Canberra.
What it's used for
- Connectivity for the Library's own networks and for the public-facing services it hosts, including its catalogue and its large digital collections.
- The Library operates Trove, the national discovery service that aggregates catalogue records, digitised newspapers and archived Australian web content.
Notable
- A government cultural institution running its own AS rather than sitting behind a department's network: the address space here fronts collection and discovery services used by researchers and the public, not an eyeball user base.
- The registration is marked as the Library's primary AS, a convention used when an organisation intends to run more than one.

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.
