AS9254 DELMONTE-AS-PH-AP Del Monte Philippines, Inc.

AS9254 (DELMONTE-AS-PH-AP) is held by Del Monte Philippines, Inc., the food and beverage company that runs one of the world's largest integrated pineapple operations, centred on plantations in Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental and processing facilities in Mindanao. This is a corporate network, not a service provider.

What it's used for

RIS sees exactly one prefix, 202.129.238.0/24 — 256 addresses — with no IPv6 and 1 observed neighbour. That is the minimum viable autonomous system: a single provider-independent /24, announced through a single upstream.

Companies take this shape when they want their public addressing to survive a change of ISP. For a business like Del Monte Philippines, whose operations are concentrated on plantations, processing plants and offices rather than anything internet-facing at scale, a /24 is ample: it covers site-to-site VPN endpoints, mail and web gateways, and remote access for staff. There is no customer space to carry, so there is nothing for the AS to peer about, and the single neighbour reflects that.

It is worth naming what this network is not. A food producer with an ASN is easy to mistake for something else — an unrelated network reusing a household brand name, or a block that has drifted to a different holder. Neither applies here: the registry holder is the operating company itself, the single /24 is stable, and the announcement pattern is consistent with a plain enterprise stub.

Notable

• Del Monte Philippines is a Philippine-owned company; the "Del Monte" name is used by several legally distinct businesses in different territories, so brand recognition is not evidence of corporate identity across ASNs.
• One prefix and one upstream means no BGP-level redundancy; the AS exists for address portability rather than resilience.
