AS7543 PRNSI-AS-AP PT Reach Network Services Indonesia

PRNSI-AS-AP is PT Reach Network Services Indonesia, the Jakarta-registered arm of

Telstra International. Every prefix it announces resolves under

telstraglobal.net, and the address blocks inside it are registered to Telstra

International contacts in Hong Kong.

What it's used for

• Business connectivity in Indonesia delivered on Telstra's international backbone: IP transit and enterprise access for corporate customers in and around Jakarta.
• The reverse DNS is Telstra's global customer-link naming, with names such as NNNNN.jakt05.cu.telstraglobal.net marking Jakarta customer aggregation routers.

Notable

• This is a business/enterprise network, not a consumer ISP. The address space is small, and what is there is handed out as customer assignments off Telstra's network rather than as any subscriber pool. There are no residential-looking reverse-DNS patterns anywhere in it.
• The holder name is the honest one here, but it is easy to misread: "Reach Network Services" reads like an independent Indonesian ISP when the operator is really a local licensed entity of a large Australian carrier.

Interesting

• The Reach name is a fossil. Reach was the international-carrier joint venture Telstra and PCCW formed in 2001, pooling their subsea cables, gateways and satellite capacity. The joint venture is long gone from Telstra's branding, but the Indonesian company and this AS still carry the name.
