AS45285 — NZ-AS-NS2-AP - ASN for anycast peering

Network type: hosting

AS45285 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 768 addresses and 7 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

NZ-AS-NS2-AP is operated by InternetNZ.

What it's used for

• The address space carries the New Zealand country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) infrastructure, specifically for anycast peering and DNS services, as indicated by the netname InternetNZ and the AS description "ASN for anycast peering".
• The AS announces 768 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 7 IPv6 prefixes, with only 3 observed neighbours, indicating a specialized infrastructure role rather than a general transit or access network.
• Traffic from this AS consists of DNS queries and responses for the .nz domain, as InternetNZ is the non-profit organization responsible for managing the New Zealand ccTLD.

Notable

• The registrants for both announced IPv4 prefixes are InternetNZ, matching the AS holder and confirming the space is directly owned and operated by the TLD registry.
• The address inventory is small and finely subdivided, with two IPv4 prefixes and seven IPv6 prefixes, consistent with an internal corporate estate for a specific technical function rather than a broad subscriber base.
