Summary
Colocity
hosting transit legacy
AS9297 (COLOCITY-AS-AP) is held by Colocity Pty Ltd, a privately owned, carrier-neutral colocation data-centre operator in Adelaide, South Australia. Alongside colocation it sells IP transit, managed WAN, dark fibre and remote hands, and this AS is how its customers reach the internet.
What it's used for
The network is compact but properly built. It announces three IPv4 prefixes — 119.252.0.0/19, 43.248.44.0/22 and 202.12.71.0/24, about 9,472 addresses in total — and, unlike many of its size, a full IPv6 /32 (2401:1400::/32). Around 12 BGP neighbours are observed. That is the right shape for a carrier-neutral facility: a modest pool of address space that gets handed out to tenants, and a peering edge broad enough to give those tenants real choice of path rather than a single upstream. The /19 is the workhorse block; the /22 and /24 are later or legacy additions. Nothing here is deaggregated into the hundreds of routes you would see from a leasing operation, so the space is being used, not resold in slices.
Notable
- Reverse DNS on a sampled address in the
/19resolves to5.pult.economicoutlook.net, which is a nice piece of corroboration:pultmatches Colocity's Pulteney Street facility in Adelaide's CBD, and the domain belongs to a tenant. The space carries customers, and the naming is site-coded. - Adelaide is a comparatively thin market for carrier-neutral colocation, and Colocity's pitch is precisely that neutrality — customers can choose among the Australian carriers present in the building.
- Announcing a full IPv6
/32is worth noting in a batch where several far larger networks announce none.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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: 432 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
