AS9461 NET2000-AS-AP Net2000 Pty Ltd

AS9461 (NET2000-AS-AP) is held by Net2000 Pty Ltd, a small Melbourne-based internet service provider operating out of Victoria. It sells consumer and small-business broadband along with domain registration, web hosting and ecommerce services — a long-lived independent ISP of the kind that predates Australia's NBN consolidation.

What it's used for

RIS observes 5 IPv4 prefixes covering 1,280 addresses, all of them /24s in legacy 203.x Australian space, and 1 BGP neighbour. No IPv6 is announced.

The reverse DNS is what makes this network legible, and it points squarely at last-mile access. Sampled PTRs return names like client-203-26-98-133.net2000.com.au, cpe-93-5.net2000.com.au and static-93-133.net2000.com.au — the client-, cpe- and static- conventions that access providers use for subscriber lines and statically assigned customer addresses. Alongside those, infrastructure names appear (popbox.net2000.com.au, spare.netcore.com.au, casandra.netcore.com.au), and one address resolves under precisionwireless.com.au, suggesting the same address pool also carries a fixed-wireless brand.

A single upstream on 1,280 addresses confirms the role: this is a leaf network buying transit and reselling access, not a carrier. The address count is small because the customer base is, and because much of it is likely NAT'd behind the routable pool.

Notable

• Three distinct domains appear in the reverse DNS of one small address pool (net2000.com.au, netcore.com.au, precisionwireless.com.au), which is typical of a small ISP running several retail brands or having absorbed neighbouring operators.
• Five /24s spread across 203.18, 203.20, 203.26 and 203.32 rather than one contiguous block is consistent with space accumulated over time rather than a single allocation.
