About this network

The AS handle ANW-NET-AS is held by Axel Networks, Inc. (formerly Axel Entertain Media, Inc.).

What it's used for

• The address space carries content delivery infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as 115031196-0.lexues.net and 202095248-128.axelnetworks.net.
• The network announces 4,608 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, with only 2 observed neighbours, indicating a dedicated hosting or content delivery role rather than general transit.
• Traffic from this AS consists of web and API endpoints for content delivery services, consistent with the operator's business focus.

Notable

• Registrants for both announced prefixes are listed as Japan Network Information Center (JPNIC), which is the standard registry for Japanese IP space and does not contradict the Axel Networks ownership.
• The address inventory is compact, consisting of one /20 and one /23 block, typical for a specialized content provider rather than a large ISP.
