AS9745 PETARNIKOLICH-AS-AP Petar Nikolich

AS9745 (PETARNIKOLICH-AS-AP) is registered in APNIC to Petar Nikolich, an individual resource holder in Australia rather than a named company. There is no public corporate identity, product or service attached to the AS, so what can be said about it comes almost entirely from the routing evidence.

What it's used for

The footprint is small and stable. RIS shows 2 IPv4 prefixes — 202.6.124.0/22 and 203.32.103.0/24, 1,280 addresses in total — no IPv6, and 3 observed BGP neighbours. Both blocks are early APNIC legacy space from Australia's first wave of allocations, and the AS reaches the internet through a small number of Australian upstreams. Three neighbours on a little over a thousand addresses rules out every provider role: it is not transit, not an exchange participant of any weight, and not an access network with subscribers. What remains is a private or small-business routed presence — address space held long-term and announced so it stays reachable and portable, independent of any single upstream.

Notable

• Individually-registered ASNs with legacy space are not unusual in the APNIC region. They date from a period when allocations went to whoever asked, and the registration often stays with a person even when the space is used by a company they run.
• The registrant name is not evidence of what the network carries. Do not infer a residential or personal use from it; a one-person registration can sit in front of an entirely ordinary business network.
• Two blocks from different legacy ranges, with no IPv6 and no aggregation, is a holding pattern rather than a growing network.
