AS9715 SAMART-CDC-AS-AP SAMART Corp Excise-Direct Coding Data Center

AS9715 (SAMART-CDC-AS-AP) is registered to SAMART Corp, the Thai technology group Samart Corporation Public Company Limited (SET: SAMART, based in Nonthaburi), and specifically to its Excise-Direct Coding Data Center. It is a very small, single-purpose enterprise network rather than a commercial ISP.

What it's used for

The routing footprint is tiny and static: two adjacent IPv4 /24s (210.246.144.0/24 and 210.246.145.0/24), 512 addresses in total, no IPv6, and only 2 observed BGP neighbours. That shape is the classic signature of a corporate data centre that buys transit from a couple of local upstreams and originates its own address space purely so it can be multi-homed. There is nothing here resembling a customer-serving access network: no large aggregate, no downstream cone, no broad peering. The "Excise-Direct Coding Data Center" in the AS name is the tell — Samart's Utilities and Transportations business line supplies excise tax collection technology, including direct-coding systems that mark and track excisable goods, and this AS exists to carry that system's traffic to the outside world with redundant paths.

Notable

• Samart Corporation is a diversified Thai group with several distinct network entities; this AS is one of the group's operational networks and should not be read as the group's public ISP business.
• Two upstreams on 512 addresses means resilience, not scale. Availability, not reach, is what this AS is buying.
