Summary
Abitcool (China)
isp hosting business legacy
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.
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.

Interconnection
Peering at a glance
Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers
4 upstream, 0 downstream and 4 adjacent networks observed; most-used upstreams first.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-31, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 447 networks and 1,845 prefixes, as published 2026-10-31. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.

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.
