AS9789 — ASN-DATACOM-AP # AS-DATACOM-AP CONVERTED TO ASN-DATACOM-AP FOR RPSL COMPLIANCE Datacom Co.,Ltd
AS9789 announces 1 IPv4 prefixes covering 256 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.
About this network
AS9789 (ASN-DATACOM-AP) is held by Datacom Co., Ltd, an internet and IT services company in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The registry handle carries an old RPSL-conversion note (AS-DATACOM-AP converted to ASN-DATACOM-AP for RPSL compliance) rather than anything descriptive, and the -AP suffix says only that the resource came from APNIC. Do not confuse it with the similarly named Datacom Group in New Zealand and Australia, which is a different company on a different ASN.
What it's used for
Very little routing, from a company with a large local footprint. RIS sees exactly 1 IPv4 prefix, 202.131.7.0/24, carrying 256 addresses, with 2 observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6. A single /24 announced through a couple of upstreams is service infrastructure, not an access network: name servers, mail, web and dedicated-server hosting for customers. Datacom is Mongolia's ccTLD registry operator for .mn and an ICANN-accredited registrar, and a small, stable, multihomed block is precisely what registry and DNS infrastructure needs. Whatever broadband or corporate connectivity the company sells is evidently numbered elsewhere; what is visible in the global table from this ASN is a single service block.
Notable
- Datacom was Mongolia's first commercial internet service provider, launching service in 1996, and runs the .mn domain registry.
- One /24 and two neighbours means the AS exists for address portability and redundancy rather than to move volume.
- No IPv6 is announced.
