Unclassified APNIC
Summary
Nexon Cloud (Nexware)
hosting legacy
NEXON-GLOBAL-BACKBONE-ASN is registered to Nexware, an Australian company trading as Nexon Cloud (nexoncloud.com.au). It sells cloud infrastructure, IP transit, DDoS protection and managed-network services.
What it's used for
- The company advertises IP transit, DDoS scrubbing, cloud firewall/WAF, anycast DNS and managed BGP.
- In practice the AS carries a single IPv4
/23— about 512 addresses — plus a handful of IPv6 prefixes.
Notable
- The marketing and the routing table disagree, and this card does not resolve the difference. The website claims a global backbone with 35+ points of presence across six continents and multi-terabit scrubbing capacity. The routing table shows one IPv4 prefix and exactly one upstream provider, with no downstream networks taking transit from it. A network that resells transit to others normally appears as transit to someone; this one does not.
- Read the AS name (
...GLOBAL-BACKBONE...) as branding rather than as a description of what is announced.
Interesting
- The number was reissued — APNIC registered this AS in 2022 — so nothing about the low number implies an established or long-running network.
- Do not confuse this with the Korean game publisher of the same name, or with Nexon Asia Pacific, a separate long-standing Australian managed-service provider. The names collide; the registrant here is Nexware.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-15, 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 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
