About this network
AS9823 (PEARSON-APAC) is the Asia-Pacific network of the Pearson education group — registry records name it Pearson Australia Group Pty Ltd. It is a corporate network belonging to a global education-publishing and assessment company, not an education institution and not a service provider.
What it's used for
RIS sees 5 IPv4 prefixes carrying 2,048 addresses, no IPv6, and 4 BGP neighbours. Every announced prefix is carved out of 159.182.0.0/16 and 168.146.0.0/16 — ARIN-registered blocks held by NCS Pearson Inc., the group's US entity. In other words, the APAC AS announces slices of the corporate parent's American address space from the Asia-Pacific region: a single global address plan, regionally originated. Two thousand addresses behind four upstreams is the standard multi-homed enterprise pattern — enough public space for regional offices, published applications and assessment platforms, with redundant transit and no interest in peering. This AS is one of several Pearson runs; the North American space originates from AS11892 and shared services from AS29016. Card the one in front of you: this is the APAC regional corporate network.
Notable
- The address space is ARIN-registered but announced in the APNIC region — RIR of record follows the corporate entity, not geography.
- The education tag here means the company's business, not the network's role. This is enterprise IT for an education company, not a campus or research network.
- No IPv6 is announced.
