AS10104 — BVKCOMPUTER-AS-AP BV K Computer

AS10104 announces 0 IPv4 prefixes covering 0 addresses and 4 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

BVKCOMPUTER-AS-AP is registered with APNIC to BV K Computer, at an address in Sisawat village, Chanthaburi District, Vientiane, Laos. It is a low-numbered, long-held AS whose current use is much harder to pin down than its registration.

What it's used for

Whatever it is doing today, it is doing it entirely over IPv6. The AS announces no IPv4 prefixes at all and just 4 IPv6 prefixes — 2001:df3:6c40::/48 from APNIC, and 2a12:f8c0:2100::/40, 2a12:f8c0:2000::/48 and 2a12:f8c1::/48 from RIPE NCC space. An APNIC member in Laos originating RIPE-region IPv6 is not itself wrong, but it does mean the address space and the registrant sit in different registries, so the holder's Lao address is a poor guide to where the addresses actually land.

Notable

The 3 observed BGP neighbours are the most informative fact here, and they are not carriers: the observed upstreams are small hosting and VPS networks rather than a national transit provider. A network reached through budget hosting AS paths, announcing only IPv6, with no v4 footprint, is not an eyeball ISP and not an enterprise estate. It looks like a small operator or hobbyist-scale network using VPS-based BGP transit.

Interesting

Held as other with low confidence deliberately. The registrant is legible, the use is not, and the routing gives no basis to geolocate these prefixes to Vientiane.
