AS7483 SKYCLOUD-NET Skycloud Computing co., Ltd.

SKYCLOUD-NET is Skycloud Computing Co., Ltd. (騰雲運算), a Taiwanese cloud,

CDN and DDoS-mitigation provider based in New Taipei City.

What it's used for

• A mix of infrastructure services: IDC colocation, hybrid cloud and cloud direct-connect, IP transit, CDN, and Layer 3/4 and Layer 7 DDoS scrubbing.
• Its customer base skews toward workloads that attract attacks — online gaming, live streaming and e-commerce — which is what a Taiwanese network buys DDoS protection for.

Notable

• Genuinely multihomed: around a dozen upstream transit providers and a couple of downstream networks of its own, with an open peering policy in the Asia-Pacific region.
• The IPv4 footprint is modest — roughly 10,000 addresses across a couple of dozen prefixes — but the address space is densely used, with well over a hundred thousand domain names resolving into it. That density is the signature of shared hosting and CDN edge, not of subscriber assignments.

Interesting

• The number was reissued. APNIC's registration for this AS dates to 2021, so the four-digit number reflects recycling rather than early-internet history.
