Unclassified APNIC
Summary
PubNet (Thailand Public Backbone Network)
government research legacy
PubNet, the Thailand Public backbone Network (PUBNET-TH-AS), a national public network project run out of NECTEC, Thailand's National Electronics and Computer Technology Center.
What it's used for
- Backbone connectivity for Thai public-sector and public-interest networks. It was built by NECTEC's Network Technology Laboratory and sits alongside sibling national projects such as SchoolNet and the country's public internet exchange.
- Reverse DNS on its space is unambiguously NECTEC: hosts resolve under
nectec.or.th, including names in the lab's ownntl.nectec.or.thsubdomain.
Notable
- An IP here is government/research infrastructure, not a commercial ISP customer. NECTEC is a state research agency, so the address space carries agency servers and national-project systems rather than consumer subscribers.
- The inventory is small and self-contained: one legacy
202.44.204.0/24plus a203.185.64.0/19, both APNIC allocations to the Thai public network.
Interesting
- NECTEC ran much of Thailand's early internet build-out, and this AS is one of the surviving pieces of that period, still announcing the same NECTEC-named space decades later.

Internet exchanges
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 2026-10-26, 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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
