AS7492 NEXON-GLOBAL-BACKBONE-ASN Nexon Global Backbone

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.
