Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Parlamentsdirektion (Austrian Parliament)
government legacy
AS6883 belongs to the Parlamentsdirektion, the administrative directorate of the Austrian Parliament in Vienna. The registry describes it plainly as the "Network of the Austrian Parliament".
What it's used for
- The parliament's own institutional network: the Nationalrat and Bundesrat chambers, parliamentary club and committee offices, the parliamentary library and archives, and the directorate's IT department.
- Public-facing parliamentary services such as the legislative record and session material are reached through this space.
Notable
- This is a single-institution government network. There are no subscriber pools and no customer cone; the contacts are the parliament's own IT unit at Dr.-Karl-Renner-Ring in Vienna.
- The whole of
161.110.0.0/16is registered to the directorate under netnameOEPARNETwith RIPE statusLEGACY. A /16 for a single legislature is a striking amount of address space by modern standards, and is a legacy of an era when such assignments were routine.
Interesting
- A national parliament running its own AS number is uncommon. Many legislatures sit inside a government-wide network or behind a ministry's ASN rather than appearing in the global routing table under their own name.

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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. 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.
