About this network

AS9416 (MULTIMEDIA-AS-AP) is held by Hoshin Multimedia Center Inc., a Taipei-based broadband provider and one of the largest cable-and-DSL consumer ISPs in Taiwan. Its network runs on the Koos Broadband Telecom (kbtelecom.net) platform — the Koos/kbro cable group, whose franchises supply pay-TV and residential broadband across Taiwanese cities.

What it's used for

Mass-market consumer access, at real scale. RIS observes 79 IPv4 prefixes totalling 1,248,768 addresses plus one IPv6 /32 (2001:d58::/32), against only 25 observed BGP neighbours. Over a million addresses with fewer than thirty peers is the definitive eyeball signature: this network hands addresses to subscribers rather than carrying other people's traffic. The reverse DNS makes it explicit — sampled hosts resolve as host-58-114-0-5.dynamic.kbtelecom.net and host-5.0-234-182.cable.dynamic.kbtelecom.net, with dynamic, cable and static all appearing as distinct customer classes. Backbone and exchange-point gear shows up under IX.kbtelecom.net with names like TPNOC3-P68-10G5-14-GAMA, identifying Taipei NOC 10G interfaces.

Notable

• Sampled addresses in 203.133.9.0 resolve to deploy.akamaitechnologies.com, meaning Akamai edge caches sit on-net inside this ASN. That is normal for an ISP of this size and is why some of its space serves CDN content rather than subscribers.
• One PTR in the sample (219-70-0-5.twt1.com.tw) points outside the kbtelecom naming, a reminder that rDNS shows what a block carries, not who holds it.
• The address holdings are enormous for a non-incumbent: multiple /15s and a long list of /16s, accumulated across the cable industry's consolidation in Taiwan.
