Summary
TVP Operations Company (IP Exchange / IPX)
isp transit legacy
TVP-OPERATIONS-COMPANY-AP is the routing identity of the Melbourne-based network run by IP Exchange Pty Ltd (IPX) and TVPlus, an Australian telecommunications and media/communications operator.
What it's used for
- Carrying internet and telecommunications services for the operator's customers, described in PeeringDB as a network service provider with global scope and mostly inbound traffic.
- Announcing a sizeable pool of APNIC space (roughly 37,000 IPv4 addresses) across many prefixes, registered under netnames such as
IPEXCHANGE-AUandTVPLUS.
Notable
- The organisation object behind the ASN is IP Exchange Pty Ltd, so the same network turns up under several names — IPX, IP Exchange, TVPlus and "TVP Operations Company" — depending on which database you read.
- The address space spans several legacy APNIC ranges (203.x, 202.x, 221.x), a footprint larger than the operator's public profile would suggest.

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 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
