AS8511 AS8511-AI Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan

AS8511-AI is operated by AsiaInfo LLC (ОсОО «Азия Инфо»), an internet

service provider and IT company in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Alongside connectivity it

sells hosting, .kg domain registration and IT services to Kyrgyz organisations.

What it's used for

• A single 195.38.160.0/19 (about 8,000 addresses) plus one IPv6 /29, carrying AsiaInfo's customer access, its own servers, and hosting for customer sites.
• Access circuits for offices and institutions in Bishkek, terminated on the provider's concentrators.

Notable

• rDNS is first-party throughout (asiainfo.kg): hosting boxes (ai-prohost, vs1), the office gateway, numbered workstation names, and blocks of vpdn-pool-NNN.asiainfo.kg. The vpdn label names the access technology — a PPP/tunnelled access concentrator — not a VPN product, and not necessarily households.
• There is no dsl-, dyn- or home-broadband naming anywhere in the block, and named hosts in the space belong to organisations, including a Kyrgyz government system (usis.gov.kg) and a Bishkek VoIP service. The inventory therefore reads as a business/institutional ISP rather than a consumer eyeball network, though the pooled ranges could include some residential subscribers.

Interesting

• AsiaInfo is one of the veteran names of Kyrgyz networking, long associated with the country's .kg domain ecosystem — which is why a small Bishkek provider holds a four-digit AS number.
