Summary

Lao National Internet Center

Lao People's Democratic Republic · AI-generated

government transit national infrastructure

INTERNET-LA is operated by the Lao National Internet Center (LANIC).

What it's used for

  • The address space carries national internet infrastructure, with netnames LANICNET and INTERNET-LA registered to the Lao National Internet Center and National Internet Center (NIC).
  • The AS announces 6,656 IPv4 addresses across 4 prefixes and maintains 3 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with a national transit or backbone provider rather than a large access network.
  • As the national internet center established under the Ministry of Technology and Communications, this AS carries the core routing and interconnection traffic for the Lao People's Democratic Republic.

Notable

  • Registrants for all four announced prefixes align with the announcer, listing the Lao National Internet Center and National Internet Center (NIC) with IRTs IRT-LANIC-LA and IRT-INTERNET-LA.
  • LANIC was established in 2010 to manage the country's internet infrastructure and transform Laos from a landlocked to a land-linked nation.
  • The inventory consists of four distinct IPv4 blocks with no IPv6 prefixes announced.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-14, 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: 442 networks and 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
