Unclassified APNIC
Summary
Abitcool (China) / 21Vianet
hosting legacy
AS9802 (CHINA-ABITCOOL) is registered to Abitcool(China) Inc., but the ASN and nearly all of the address space it announces are maintained by 21Vianet (VNET), the Beijing-based carrier-neutral data-centre and IDC operator. The registry maintainer object is MAINT-CN-21VIANET, the administrative contacts are 21Vianet's, and the large prefixes originated here are registered as CHINA-21VIANET. Read the AS as part of 21Vianet's network rather than as an independent company.
What it's used for
Internet data-centre hosting. RIS sees 71 IPv4 prefixes carrying 259,072 addresses, and no IPv6 at all. The blocks are big: a 211.151.0.0/16, several /17s (58.83.128.0/17, 59.151.0.0/17, 124.250.0.0/17, 124.251.0.0/17) and a long tail of /18s and /19s, many of them more-specifics of the same aggregates. That is the address profile of a hosting business, not an access network. What is striking is the neighbour count: only 1 observed BGP adjacency against a quarter of a million addresses. A quarter-million-address network that peers with essentially nobody is a network that lives entirely behind Chinese national carriers, taking transit and serving hosted customers, rather than exchanging traffic with the wider internet on its own account.
Notable
- 21Vianet is one of China's largest independent data-centre operators and runs several ASNs; sibling networks appear under related handles, so a single 21Vianet ASN describes only part of the estate.
- The de-aggregation is heavy: 71 announcements for what is really a handful of parent blocks, with /18s and /19s announced alongside the /16 and /17s that contain them.
- No IPv6 is announced from this ASN.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-26, 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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
