In this case, both APNIC and the IRR show this AS. aut-num: AS1221 as-name: ASN-TELSTRA descr: Telstra Pty Ltd Locked Bag No. 5744 GPO, Canberra, ACT, 2601 admin-c: GH105-AP tech-c: DW187-AP remarks: AS assigned by the former InterNIC remarks: Object automatically converted from the APNIC(RIPE181) registry mnt-by: MAINT-AS1221 changed: hostmaster@apnic.net 20000131 changed: auto-rpsl@rpsl.apnic.net 20001213 source: APNIC
