AS38255China Education and Research Network (CERNET)
As of 26th September 2026, AS38255 (China Education and Research Network…), a transit carrier registered in China with APNIC, originates 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 2k addresses and 3 IPv6 prefixes. By IPv4 address space that makes it the 25,306th-largest of the 79,516 networks we see originating IPv4, and the 360th-largest of 607 in China. It is seen behind 4 upstream networks, most often AS6939 (Hurricane Electric LLC) and AS23911 (China Next Generation Internet Beijing…), and in front of 4,099 downstream networks. Every one of its announcements has a valid RPKI ROA, and none are RPKI-invalid. 100% of its routes reach at least 90% of full-feed peers, and 1 prefix is also originated by another network.

Upstream graph
The networks AS38255 is seen behind, one and two hops out, drawn from real AS paths.
Networks observed one and two hops upstream of AS38255 in real AS paths. A thicker line means more vantage points saw that adjacency, so weight tracks how well attested it is — not how much traffic it carries. Adjacency is an observation; whether it is a transit purchase or a settlement-free peering is an inference, and is labelled as one wherever we show it.
