Summary

ixp neutral thailand peering
BKNIX-AS-AP is the autonomous system for BKNIX Co., Ltd., the operator of the Bangkok Neutral Internet eXchange.
What it's used for
- The address space carries IXP infrastructure, with netnames
TNICF-THandBKNIX-THidentifying the Thai Network Information Center Foundation and BKNIX Co., Ltd. respectively. - The AS announces 1024 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 2 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 8 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with a peering point rather than a transit or access network.
- Traffic from this AS consists of local peering sessions where member networks exchange traffic directly, keeping local traffic within Thailand to reduce costs and latency.
Notable
- Registrants align with the announcer, listing
Thai Network Information Center FoundationandBKNIX Co., Ltd.for the respective prefixes. - BKNIX is the first neutral Internet Exchange Point in Thailand, providing Layer 2 switching services to facilitate direct interconnection between ISPs and content providers.
- The inventory is compact, consisting of two /23 IPv4 blocks and two /48 IPv6 blocks, typical for a dedicated IXP facility.

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.
