AS9712 announces 16 IPv4 prefixes covering 36,608 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.
About this network
AS9712 (KPIN-AS-KR) is registered to INet Technologies Co., Ltd., a hosting and data-centre company based in Seocho-gu, Seoul. The KPIN handle is older than the current holder and appears to descend from the Korean PSINet operation, whose hosting business was one of the roots of today's Korean IDC market.
What it's used for
The routing evidence reads as hosting rather than access. RIS sees 24 IPv4 prefixes carrying 37,120 addresses, no IPv6, and just 2 observed neighbours (Korea Telecom and KDDI Korea). Two upstreams rules out a transit role, and the address estate is far too large and too fragmented to be one company's corporate edge. What stands out is where the space comes from: alongside the expected APNIC blocks (119.42.160.0/20, 202.136.112.0/21, 202.167.208.0/21, 211.35.64.0/21, 221.133.48.0/21, 103.38.24.0/23, 43.242.112.0/23) the AS also announces ARIN-registry space, 38.226.64.0/19 and 104.251.56.0/21. Announcing blocks from two different RIRs is normal for a provider that has bought or leased extra address space to feed customer servers, but it is also the shape address brokers show, so treat the inventory as mixed-origin rather than assuming a single clean allocation history.
Notable
- Third-party datasets classify the network as a hosting/data-centre operator, and note that a portion of the space has been observed running open proxies. That is common in the address space of a provider that rents servers to arbitrary customers, and it is a reason to treat traffic from this AS as untrusted rather than as residential.
- No IPv6 is announced despite a substantial IPv4 estate.
