Summary
Multinet Pakistan
isp transit enterprise legacy
AS9260 (MULTINET-AS-AP) is held by Multinet Pakistan (Pvt.) Ltd., a Karachi-based fibre network operator that sells long-haul and metro connectivity, IP transit, data-centre and managed enterprise services rather than mass-market consumer broadband. It is the company's main routing identity in the APNIC region.
What it's used for
The AS announces 129 IPv4 prefixes covering about 34,816 addresses, plus 22 IPv6 prefixes out of 2401:8e00::/32. That is a modest address footprint for a national carrier, and the shape of it is telling: the bulk sits in two /19s (202.141.224.0/19, 202.142.160.0/19) and a 125.209.120.0/21, with the remaining hundred-odd routes deaggregated down to /24s. Deaggregation at that ratio is what a carrier does when it hands individual /24s to individual corporate sites and multihomed customers, not what an eyeball ISP does with a subscriber pool. Only around ten BGP neighbours are observed, so this is not a wholesale transit hub with a broad peering edge either. It is a business-connectivity network: enterprise sites, bank branches, tower backhaul and downstream ISPs, all hanging off a comparatively small pool of routable space.
Notable
- Multinet markets itself around long-haul fibre, MPLS/DPLC circuits, IP transit, fibre-to-the-tower backhaul and data-centre services, with a customer base weighted toward the financial sector.
- Sampled reverse DNS is mixed: generic per-address PTRs under
multi.net.pk, some underoptix.pk, and GPON subscriber-style names underwateen.net. The latter two are other Pakistani operators, so this space is carrying downstream and partner networks as well as Multinet's own customers.

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 2026-10-13, 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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
