AS9311 — HITRON-AS-AP HITRON TECHNOLOGY INC.

AS9311 announces 57 IPv4 prefixes covering 20,736 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

AS9311 (HITRON-AS-AP) is registered to Hitron Technology Inc., a Taipei company, but the network it carries is the Asia Pacific On-line Services (APOL) ISP. This is a registrant-versus-operator split worth knowing about: Hitron is best known as a hardware maker, and the routing evidence is unambiguously an ISP's.

What it's used for

RIS sees 75 IPv4 prefixes carrying 21,248 addresses, 1 IPv6 prefix (2404:0:4000::/36), and only 1 observed BGP neighbour — a single-homed access network, not a carrier. The core of the space is the contiguous 210.200.x / 210.201.x range, whose registry netname is APOL and which is assigned to Asia Pacific On-line Services Inc. Every sampled PTR agrees: hostnames follow nk210-200-136-5.cl.static.apol.com.tw and 210-58-98-5.cm.static.apol.com.tw, i.e. statically assigned customer lines under apol.com.tw, with the cm variants suggesting cable-modem service. So the ASN carries APOL's Taiwanese access and business-connectivity customers.

Alongside the core APOL blocks sits a tail of unrelated-looking /24s drawn from newer APNIC space (103.246.252.0/23, 103.234.45.0/24, 103.122.224.0/24) and even RIPE-region space (185.171.169.0/24). These are most plausibly customer or leased assignments riding the same origin AS, but they are not part of the historic APOL allocation.

Notable

• Hitron founded APOL as a subsidiary in the late 1990s and later divested it; APOL subsequently ended up under the Asia Pacific Telecom group. The AS registration kept the old Hitron name.
• Do not read this ASN as a hardware vendor's corporate network — the address space is retail ISP inventory.
