AS9638 — NH-AS National Agricultural Cooperative federation
AS9638 announces 34 IPv4 prefixes covering 11,264 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.
About this network
AS9638 (NH-AS-KR) is held by the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation (농업협동조합중앙회), the umbrella body of South Korea's Nonghyup movement, branded NH. Nonghyup is far more than a farmers' association: the federation sits over a banking and insurance group, agricultural marketing and supply businesses, and retail operations, with a presence in essentially every county in the country.
What it's used for
RIS shows 44 IPv4 prefixes covering 11,264 addresses, no IPv6, and 3 observed neighbours. Three neighbours is the number that fixes the role: the federation buys transit from a small set of Korean carriers and carries nothing for anyone else. No peering fabric, no downstream customers, no wholesale function. Eleven thousand addresses is a corporate estate, not a provider's pool.
The composition of those 44 prefixes is the informative part. Every one is a /24, drawn from a wide spread of unrelated Korean blocks — 1.214.x, 1.230.x, 1.241.x, 1.255.x, 14.52.x, 61.42.x, 110.9.x, 121.157.x, 175.212.x, 210.108.x, 210.178.x, 211.38.x, 211.41.x, 222.98.x — with no aggregation anywhere. That is not how a single data centre is addressed. It is what you get when a nationally distributed organisation takes a small assignment from whichever carrier serves each region or site. For a federation whose member co-operatives, bank branches and depots blanket rural Korea, that fragmentation is what you would expect.
Notable
- Forty-four /24s with no aggregation is an unusually fragmented inventory, consistent with a distributed branch network rather than a centralised one.
- Nonghyup's banking arm (NH Bank) makes this one of the larger financial-sector organisations in the low-AS Korean range, though the AS carries only the federation's own edge.
- No IPv6 is announced.
