About this ASN.
AS115 is a legacy DoD/DNIC allocation registered under ARIN to the United States Department of Defense (DoD Network Information Center), carrying the handle "DNIC-AS-00115" — part of the DoD DNIC block from the DDN/MILNET era. Its historical label was "PBAS-BEN2-GW-AS — Director, Army Information Systems," per archived Potaroo AS-name lists. The ARIN RDAP RegDate is 1987-06-11 (Confirmed). As of June 2026 it appears dormant — no originated prefixes in the global routing table, a characteristic registered-but-dormant DNIC-AS military number (cross-checked against NetworksDB, which lists AS115 among DoD-assigned ASNs); the dormancy is inferred from the absence of prefixes across public datasets rather than confirmed against a direct table snapshot (hence confidence Medium). For triage this is a dormant DoD DNIC number; do not infer live DoD operations from it, and treat any active announcement as warranting scrutiny. No notable public abuse signal was found as of June 2026.
