AS9306 CIETNET RongHua Road No.11, Beijing Economy Technology Development Area, 100176

AS9306 (CIETNET) is held by the China International Electronic Commerce Center (CIECC), a state institution under China's Ministry of Commerce that runs the country's e-commerce and trade-information network. The registry address — RongHua Road No. 11, in the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area — and the associated ec.com.cn domain both point at CIECC.

What it's used for

The routing shape is that of a large single-purpose institutional network, not a commercial ISP. RIS sees only 5 IPv4 prefixes, but 98,304 addresses, announced via just 2 observed BGP neighbours and with no IPv6. Two neighbours is the signature of a network that buys connectivity from a couple of Chinese carriers and originates nothing but its own space; a transit or wholesale operator carrying this much address space would peer with hundreds.

The prefixes themselves are unusually clean: 211.88.0.0/17 and 211.88.128.0/17 cover a full /16, and 210.25.0.0/18 plus 210.25.64.0/18 cover a /17. That is a directly-assigned, aggregated national allocation of the sort handed to state bodies, rather than the accreted scatter of /24s a reseller ends up with. The space backs CIECC's own government trade platforms and the hosting it provides for the ministry's e-commerce systems.

Notable

• CIECC operates as a state-level body directly under the Ministry of Commerce, so this is government infrastructure rather than a private carrier despite the "commerce" in the name.
• Registry records show the space assigned through CNNIC as portable national allocation.
