AS7585 SUPERLOOP-AS-AP SUPERLOOP AUSTRALIA PTY LTD PEX

Registered to Superloop (Australia) Pty Ltd (SUPERLOOP-AS-AP, with a PEX

suffix), the Brisbane-based Australian telecommunications company. This is a

small ancillary AS, not Superloop's main network.

What it's used for

• Announcing a handful of legacy Australian /24s. It carries only three IPv4 prefixes and takes a single upstream; Superloop's own broadband and fibre network is operated on other ASNs.
• The three prefixes are registered to unrelated Australian companies, not to Superloop — the APNIC records name separate corporate holders for each block. They read as long-standing customer or acquired assignments that Superloop now routes.

Notable

• Do not attribute this space to Superloop's consumer broadband product. It is corporate/legacy address space announced on customers' behalf, so an IP here is most likely a business network rather than a residential subscriber.
• The reverse DNS is a giveaway of its age: names still resolve under ozemail.com.au and easemail.net, brands from an earlier era of the Australian internet, which suggests the space and the AS reached Superloop by acquisition rather than being built out under the current name.

Interesting

• The AS is a good example of how a low number can end up under a modern brand: the holder is current and real, but the addresses behind it are older than the company on the registry record.
