AS9530 SHINSEGAE-AS SHINSEGAE I C Co., Ltd.

AS9530 (SHINSEGAE-AS-KR) is held by SHINSEGAE I&C Co., Ltd., the IT services arm of South Korea's Shinsegae Group, the retail conglomerate behind the Shinsegae department stores and E-Mart. The company sells IT system integration and operation, cloud, and retail technology (POS, payments, in-store systems), and this AS is the network underneath that business.

What it's used for

The routing shape is that of a corporate and data-centre network, not a carrier. RIS sees 79 IPv4 prefixes carrying 20,992 addresses, and no IPv6 at all. The prefixes are almost entirely /24s scattered across many different Korean blocks (202.3.x, 202.8.x, 210.207.x, 121.170.x, 123.140.x, 182.173.x, 222.112.x) with a single /22 as the largest. That kind of fragmented, accreted address footprint is typical of an enterprise that has picked up allocations piecemeal over years rather than a network that was ever planned as a routing backbone.

Only 3 BGP neighbours are observed. A wholesale or transit network of this vintage would peer with hundreds of ASes; three upstreams says this AS exists to connect Shinsegae's own estate and its hosted customers to the Korean internet, buying transit rather than selling it.

Notable

• The address count is modest for a group of Shinsegae's size, which fits an enterprise/IDC role rather than an access network with subscribers.
• No IPv6 is announced from this AS.
