AS9308 CHINA-ABITCOOL AbitcoolChina Inc.

AS9308 (CHINA-ABITCOOL) is held by Abitcool(China) Inc., a network operator registered in Beijing. RIS sees 81 IPv4 prefixes carrying 406,272 addresses, no IPv6, and only 4 observed BGP neighbours.

What it's used for

The proportions are the whole story: four hundred thousand addresses behind four neighbours. That rules out any transit or wholesale role — a carrier moving this much space would peer with hundreds of ASes — and describes instead a network that buys upstream from a small number of Chinese backbones and originates a large block of its own. Registry records show those upstreams to be the expected set (China Telecom, China Unicom and related backbones), plus a second Abitcool-held ASN, [AS9802](https://asn.ipinfo.app/AS9802).

The announcements are large and aggregated — full /16s at 124.250.0.0, 120.134.0.0, 124.251.0.0, 182.174.0.0 and 182.175.0.0, then the same space re-announced as more specific /17s and /19s, a common Chinese traffic-engineering pattern rather than a sign of fragmentation. The interesting detail is who sits inside that space: registry sub-assignments name third-party operators, including the data-centre provider 21Vianet, so a substantial part of this network's inventory is hosting and IDC customer space rather than the operator's own eyeballs.

Notable

• Marketing describes a broadband operator, but the delegations inside the space read like a wholesale/IDC landlord. Treat the hosting component as real.
• Abitcool operates at least two ASNs; AS9308 is the larger of the pair by address count.
