AS2527 is So-net’s network.
AS2527 belongs to Sony Network Communications Inc.. DB-IP Lite attributes 3,867,648 IPv4 addresses in 71 ranges and 2 IPv6 ranges to it, all or nearly all of the IPv4 space in Japan. The number is registered with APNIC in Japan on 5 Apr 2002.
Does it publish a geofeed?
Not for the range we sampled (182.168.0.0 – 182.171.255.255): its registry record, and the record above it, link no RFC 8805 geofeed (checked 2 Nov 2026). Without one, location databases have to estimate where these addresses are used, which is a common reason customers of So-net see the wrong city. Customers can ask So-net to publish one; the evidence report drafts that request.
Shared addresses (CGNAT)
So-net hasn’t been documented as using carrier-grade NAT in a source we could check. To see whether your own connection is behind it, compare your router’s address on the CGNAT check.
IPv6
DB-IP lists 2 IPv6 ranges for AS2527, so customers can get IPv6 addresses, which databases place separately from IPv4.
