Summary
Southern Ocean Systems
enterprise isp legacy
AS9888 (SOSYSTEMS-AS-AP) is held by Southern Ocean Systems Pty Ltd, a small Australian company. Public BGP records list its website as qldvoip.com.au, and its BGP adjacencies are with Queensland networks — Dreamtilt, the Gladstone-area wireless broadband and VoIP provider (AS7546), and QLD VoIP Services Australia (AS9449). The picture is of a regional Queensland voice-and-internet operation rather than a national carrier.
What it's used for
The inventory is tiny. RIS sees 2 IPv4 prefixes carrying 512 addresses — two adjacent /24s, 103.184.174.0/24 and 103.184.175.0/24 — no IPv6, and 1 observed BGP neighbour. Two /24s and a single upstream is about as small as a routed network gets while still being worth an ASN at all. Address space of that size supports service infrastructure — softswitches, session border controllers, mail and management hosts — rather than a customer base. The AS almost certainly exists so that the operator's small block stays portable across upstream changes and can be announced independently.
Notable
- The
103.184.xspace is from a recent APNIC range, not a legacy allocation, even though the ASN itself is a low-numbered one dating from the early days of APNIC assignment. The AS is old; the addresses in it are not. - Small Australian regional providers frequently hold several ASNs across related trading entities, and the adjacencies here suggest AS9888 sits inside such a cluster rather than standing alone.
- With one neighbour, this network provides transit to nobody.

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: 442 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-22. 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.
