AS8904 announces 5 IPv4 prefixes covering 5,888 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.
About this network
BANKOFRUSSIA is the autonomous system of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (Bank of Russia), the country's monetary authority and banking regulator.
What it's used for
- The central bank's own infrastructure and public presence. It is a state financial institution, so the space is classified government: there are no subscriber pools, no hosting estate and nothing sold to third parties.
Notable
- Small and tightly contained: about 5.9k IPv4 addresses across 5 prefixes, all inside the legacy 212.40.192.0/19 allocation, with only two observed BGP neighbours. That is a single institution buying transit, not a network with downstreams.
- No PTRs came back on the addresses sampled inside its prefixes. That is unremarkable for a closed institutional network and is not evidence about the zone's delegation one way or the other.
Interesting
- A central bank running its own AS since the late 1990s is less common than it sounds — most national banks of that era sat behind a state telco. The contiguous, unchanging 212.40.192.0/19 footprint suggests the network was designed once and left alone.
