AS4608 — APNIC-SERVICES Asia Pacific Network Information Centre

AS4608 announces 5 IPv4 prefixes covering 4,352 addresses and 8 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

APNIC-SERVICES is the network of APNIC, the Regional Internet Registry for the Asia-Pacific region. APNIC is the body that allocates IP addresses and AS numbers across Asia and Oceania.

What it's used for

• APNIC's own infrastructure and member-facing services: the whois/RDAP registry, MyAPNIC, RPKI, reverse-DNS servers, and APNIC Labs measurement work.

Notable

• Not an ISP or a hosting provider. The address space carries registry and research infrastructure for the region, so traffic to it is mostly lookups and routing-data services rather than end users.
• APNIC is a non-profit membership organisation; its members are the ISPs and networks it issues resources to.

Interesting

• IANA delegates the AS block 4608-4865 to APNIC, and APNIC took the very first number in that block for itself.
• Sibling registries hold similarly memorable numbers, such as AS3333 for the RIPE NCC.
