AS9449 QLDVOIP-AU QLD VoIP Services Australia

AS9449 (QLDVOIP-AU) is registered to QLD VoIP Services Australia, a Queensland-based operator. The routing evidence ties its infrastructure to IIG (Internet Information Group), an Australian ISP that has been selling internet, SIP/3CX voice, hosting and managed WAN services since the 1990s — the only sampled reverse-DNS record in the AS is eth0.bne-core-1.net.iig.com.au, a Brisbane core router in IIG's naming scheme.

What it's used for

This is a small provider network, not a carrier and not an eyeball ISP of any scale. The AS originates 9 IPv4 prefixes totalling 2,048 addresses, together with 2 IPv6 prefixes (2406:e940::/48 and 2406:e940:4680::/48). The v4 blocks are a handful of /24s and one /23 drawn from several unrelated APNIC ranges — 203.4.168.0/24, 203.4.170.0/23, 203.28.181.0/24, 203.0.80.0/24, 203.7.197.0/24, 103.160.116.0/23 — the accumulation pattern of a long-lived small ISP rather than a single allocation. Three observed BGP neighbours puts it firmly in the "buys transit, sells services" category.

The name and the evidence agree on the service mix: a VoIP and business-connectivity provider needs routed address space and its own AS for call quality and multihoming far more than it needs a large address pool, which is exactly what a 2,048-address footprint with core-router infrastructure in Brisbane looks like.

Notable

• The only visible infrastructure PTR is an IIG core router in Brisbane, so the AS's operational network and IIG's are the same network — the registrant name and the operating brand differ.
• 2,048 IPv4 addresses across 9 prefixes: the space is for services and business customers, not consumer subscriber pools.
• IPv6 is present, which is not a given among Australian providers of this size.
