Summary
SaveCom International Inc.
isp transit legacy
TWNAP-ADMIN-AS-AP is held by SaveCom International Inc., a Taipei telecoms company. The handle refers to the Taiwan Network Access Point (TWNAP), which SaveCom operates; the AS is described in the registry as TWNAP's transit and administration AS, the one that hands full routing to ISPs connected to the exchange.
What it's used for
- Transit and enterprise service. The registry note is explicit: ISPs attached to TWNAP that need reachability to the global internet learn full routes from this AS.
- About 51,000 IPv4 addresses across roughly 29 prefixes, all inside SaveCom's own
210.208.0.0/18and210.209.0.0/18allocations, registeredSAVECOM-NET, plus2407:680:8000::/33. - Reverse DNS is a mix of SaveCom's default host naming under
savecom.net.tw, a-twnapsuffixed pattern on the exchange-adjacent ranges, and occasional customer domains, which is what a business and IDC network looks like.
Notable
- The handle names an exchange, but this is not the exchange. TWNAP itself is the peering fabric; AS7656 is the operator's transit and administration AS sitting next to it, and the addresses are SaveCom's own.
- It is also not SaveCom's consumer network. The company runs a separate eyeball AS for home broadband, so an address seen here is far more likely to be a business circuit, a hosted server or a downstream ISP than a household.
Interesting
- The aut-num object still carries its original 1990s remarks, including the line that the operator will have a leased line to the US "very soon". The AS has been routing for thirty years; nobody ever went back to edit the note.

Classification and threat
Residential Fixed-line consumer ISP. Addresses here are homes.
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: 431 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
