About this network

MS-HK-AS-AP is registered to Morgan Stanley Management Service (Singapore) Pte Ltd. It is the investment bank's Asia-Pacific corporate network — the handle still says HK, a Hong Kong legacy the registration has since moved on from.

What it's used for

This carries Morgan Stanley's own infrastructure in the region: office and data-centre connectivity, and the remote-access and site-to-site links that tie APAC staff back into the firm's global network. It is not sold to anyone. For a bank, holding its own ASN and provider-independent space is about control and resilience — being able to multihome and to keep the same addresses when a carrier contract changes.

Notable

The kind is enterprise, and reverse DNS closes it. The one first-party PTR sampled is tjvpn1.ms.com — ms.com is Morgan Stanley's own domain, and the hostname is a numbered VPN concentrator, exactly the kind of remote-access plumbing a bank fronts on public space. RIS sees 9 IPv4 prefixes / 2,304 addresses and 4 observed neighbours: nine /24s and a handful of upstreams, which is a corporate estate, not a service network. Note the second rDNS pattern, 63-217-82-5.static.as3491.net: that is carrier-generated naming from PCCW's space, and it is a good reminder that PTRs describe what the addresses carry and who delegated them, not who holds the AS.

Interesting

The prefixes straddle three regions — ARIN 63.217.x and 205.228.x alongside APNIC 218.188.93.0/24 — which is what happens when a global firm's regional network is assembled from whichever registry had space at the time.
