AS200240 is a private autonomous system operated as a research and experimental platform focused on network engineering, routing technologies, and internet infrastructure development.
The network is primarily used for studying and implementing BGP-based DDoS mitigation techniques, including traffic diversion to specialized scrubbing centers where malicious traffic can be filtered and separated from legitimate traffic before being forwarded to the destination network.
This environment allows experimentation with routing policies, traffic engineering, and infrastructure designs used in modern anti-DDoS protection systems.
