About this network

A low AS number whose first appearance in the routing archive is 2021.

What it's used for

• The Asia-Pacific and Japan regional network of Hewlett Packard Enterprise. 2,816 addresses across five IPv4 prefixes, four observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• First seen in the routing archive on 27 January 2021.
• All five prefixes sit inside 16.0.0.0/8 and share the netname HPE-15, the same netname as the neighbouring AS13013.
• The handle is HEWLETT-PACKARD-ENTERPRISE-APJ HPE APJ, naming a region rather than a place.
• Fifteen addresses were sampled and none answered.

Interesting

• Its immediate neighbours in this range were already being announced when the archive opened in 2000, yet nothing the archive could see came from this number until 2021. An AS number costs almost nothing to hold and can sit dormant for two decades before a reorganisation gives it a job, so a first-seen date measures when a company decided to use a number, not when it received one.
• AS13013 and AS13014 are the same company split by region, sharing a netname and a registrant while carrying different handles. Neither record says so on its own; the pair only appears when the packs are read side by side, the same way sibling divisions have elsewhere in this sweep.
• Naming the handle after an internal region rather than a country or city means the label tracks the org chart. Reorganisations rename teams far more often than they renumber networks.
