About this network

BEKKERS-AS-AP is Bekkers Information Technology, a Western Australian IT services company and internet provider based in Inglewood, a suburb of Perth. The trading entity behind the address space is registered in APNIC as Westway Nominees Pty Ltd t/a Bekkers.

What it's used for

• DSL access. The reverse DNS across the space resolves under bekkers.com.au, with names like dsl-IP-ADDR.bekkers.com.au for subscriber lines and core.adsl.bekkers.com.au on the aggregation side. Most of the rest is generic per-address naming of the form ip-IP-ADDR.bekkers.com.au.
• The AS announces around fourteen scattered /24s — a little over 3,500 addresses in total.

Notable

• This is a small regional access network, not an enterprise or hosting one. The dsl- and adsl names are the deciding evidence: whatever the company's IT-services branding suggests, the addresses are broadband customer lines. Given the company's business-IT focus, expect the customer mix to lean toward small and medium businesses alongside households.
• Its APNIC organisation object resolves to AAPT Limited, a much larger Australian telco. That is an administrative artefact of how the resource is held, not a sign that AAPT operates this network — the prefixes and every reverse DNS name point squarely at Bekkers.
• A few thousand addresses across a scatter of /24s. The low AS number says nothing about the size of the operator.

Interesting

• The WESTWAY-AU netname on one of its blocks, and the Westway Nominees registrant, are a reminder to read registry records rather than brand names: the ISP the public deals with and the company on the APNIC object need not share a name.
