AS9285 IBSPLC-AS-AP Technopark, Trivandrum, India

AS9285 (IBSPLC-AS-AP) is held by IBS Software, the travel, transportation and logistics software company headquartered at Technopark in Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum), Kerala. The registry object carries the campus street address rather than the company name, which is why the holder field reads "Technopark, Trivandrum, India" — the IBSPLC handle is the giveaway, matching the company's ibsplc.com domain.

What it's used for

This is a corporate network, not a provider. AS9285 announces four IPv4 prefixes — 202.177.44.0/24 through 202.177.47.0/24, which together are a contiguous 202.177.44.0/22, or 1,024 addresses — with no IPv6 and only two observed BGP neighbours. Two upstreams and a single contiguous /22 is the shape of an enterprise that runs its own multihomed edge: enough redundancy that a transit failure does not take the business offline, and enough address space to publish its own services, but no deaggregation for customers and no peering breadth. Since IBS Software's products are hosted platforms sold to airlines, hotels, cruise lines and cargo operators, the space plausibly fronts customer-facing application and integration endpoints as well as the corporate estate, though the reverse-DNS sample returned nothing to confirm what sits where.

Notable

• IBS Software was founded in 1997 in Trivandrum and its Technopark campus opened in 2007; it operates from offices worldwide and is a Blackstone portfolio company.
• Its software covers airline fleet, crew and cargo operations, passenger services and loyalty, plus hotel and cruise distribution platforms — so traffic here is enterprise B2B, not consumer.
• The four /24s being announced separately rather than as one /22 is a common enterprise habit and should not be read as fragmentation.
