Unclassified APNIC
Summary
Interactive Brokers (Hong Kong)
enterprise legacy
AS9468 (IBLLC-HK) is held by Interactive Brokers, the electronic brokerage and market-maker, for its Hong Kong operation. The handle spells it out: IBLLC is Interactive Brokers LLC, and the -HK suffix marks this as the Asia-Pacific-registered network rather than the firm's US space. It is a financial enterprise announcing its own address space, not a service provider.
What it's used for
RIS observes 4 IPv4 prefixes covering 768 addresses and 3 BGP neighbours. No IPv6 is announced. The prefixes are 103.38.90.0/23 — announced both as the /23 and as its two constituent /24s — plus a separate legacy 202.1.6.0/24.
Three upstreams on 768 addresses is the signature of a network where reachability matters far more than capacity. That is exactly right for a brokerage: the addresses front trading gateways, client API endpoints and market-data connectivity for the Asian trading day, and an outage on one transit provider during market hours is unacceptable. Announcing both the covering /23 and its component /24s is a standard traffic-engineering move — it lets the firm steer inbound traffic per-/24 across its upstreams while keeping the aggregate as a fallback, and it gives some protection against more-specific hijacks.
There is nothing here that carries anyone else's traffic. No customer allocations, no wholesale peering, no hosting scale. Fewer than a thousand addresses, heavily multihomed, is a self-contained corporate edge.
Notable
- The mix of a modern
103.xAPNIC/22-neighbourhood block with an old202.1.6.0/24suggests space acquired in two eras, which is common for financial firms that established an Asian presence early and expanded later. - Deliberate deaggregation of the
/23into/24s is a common pattern among latency- and availability-sensitive financial networks.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-11-01, 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: 449 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-02. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
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.
