Unclassified APNIC NSP
Summary
Servers Australia (wholesale/transit AS)
transit hosting legacy
AS9280 (SAU-NET-AU) is held by Servers Australia Pty Ltd, an Australian dedicated-server, cloud and colocation provider. This is specifically the company's wholesale and transit AS. The hosting customers themselves live in AS45671; AS9280 is the network that carries AS45671 and Servers Australia's other downstream customers to the rest of the internet.
What it's used for
The routing evidence states the role plainly, and it is the textbook example of why address count alone tells you nothing. AS9280 announces just two IPv4 prefixes — 202.131.92.0/24 and 191.96.214.0/24, 512 addresses in total — and no IPv6. But it has around 25 observed BGP neighbours. Twenty-five peers behind 512 addresses is an inverted ratio that only a carrier produces: the address space is not the product, the transit is. What little space it originates is backbone infrastructure rather than customer assignment, and the reverse DNS confirms it — one sampled address resolves to lo100.edge03.sy1.as9280.net.au, a router loopback on a Sydney edge device. Another address in the same /24 carries a PTR under as45671.net, showing the two ASNs sharing infrastructure.
Notable
- Servers Australia was established in 2006 and operates across multiple Australian data-centre facilities; it peers at Australian exchanges under this AS.
- The
191.96.214.0/24is out-of-region space relative to the rest of the network. A single such prefix in an otherwise APNIC-native carrier is unremarkable on its own, but it is the only non-APNIC block here. - If you want to attribute a hosted service to Servers Australia, look at AS45671, not this AS.

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: 449 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-03. 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.
