Summary
Astro Malaysia
satellite broadcast enterprise my
The AS handle ASTRO-MY-AS-AP is held by Astro Malaysia Holdings Berhad and MEASAT Broadcast Network Systems Sdn. Bhd.
What it's used for
- The address space carries broadcast and satellite infrastructure traffic, evidenced by netnames such as
ASTRO-CGNT-NET-1andASTRO-MYregistered to Astro Network Operation Center and MEASAT Broadcast Network Systems. - The AS announces 2816 IPv4 addresses across 5 prefixes and 27 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining only 1 observed neighbour, indicating a dedicated internal corporate estate rather than a transit or access network.
- Traffic from this AS consists of internal operations for a Malaysian satellite operator and pay-TV provider, supporting broadcast distribution and corporate network management.
Notable
- Registrants for the largest prefixes consistently list Astro Network Operation Center, MEASAT Broadcast Network Systems Sdn. Bhd., and IRT-ASTRO-MY, aligning with the AS holder.
- The address inventory is finely subdivided into small /24 and /22 blocks alongside a large /36 IPv6 allocation, reflecting site-by-site segmentation within a single corporate entity.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 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.
