About this network
NEC-MELB-DC-AS-AP is NEC Australia Pty Ltd, the Australian subsidiary of the Japanese technology group. The handle names the network's job outright: the Melbourne data centre from which NEC Australia runs managed and hosted services for its enterprise and public-sector clients.
What it's used for
Data-centre and managed-service infrastructure. The AS announces 4 IPv4 prefixes totalling 1,024 addresses — 147.76.0.0/24, 147.76.1.0/24, 147.76.51.0/24 and 147.76.180.0/24, four scattered /24s taken from NEC's legacy 147.76.0.0/16 — and no IPv6. Announcing only four /24s out of a /16 is what a subsidiary does when it originates the portion of a global parent's address space that its own facility actually uses.
The single sampled PTR, dns2.dc.nec.com.au, is a first-party resolver in the dc.nec.com.au zone: the operator's own name servers, sitting in the operator's own data-centre domain. That is core infrastructure, not subscriber or transit space.
Notable
This is a hosting and managed-services network, not a carrier or an eyeball network. 1,024 addresses with 2 observed BGP neighbours is a facility multihomed for resilience; a wholesale carrier would peer with hundreds of ASes. Geolocate the space to a Melbourne data centre, to NEC-managed servers and customer workloads, not to end users.
Interesting
NEC Australia's business here is outsourced IT for Australian enterprises and government agencies, so addresses in this block may front a client's public service while remaining operationally NEC's.
