AS1228

AS1228 was assigned to the Uninet Project, described by TENET as its precursor, in 1991. In the combined Route Views snapshot observed at 2026-11-03 14:00 UTC across route-views2 and route-views6, it had zero observed IPv4 prefixes, zero IPv6 prefixes, zero estimated IPv4 addresses, and zero observed AS_PATH neighbours. This describes that snapshot only; it does not establish whether the ASN is currently active or inactive.

TENET’s historical account also says TENET received IPv6 prefix 2001:4200::/32 in 2005 and that institutions it serves, including Rhodes, have operated IPv6 in production for over a decade. The account does not explicitly connect that prefix to AS1228, so it should not be treated as evidence that this ASN announces it. IANA identifies the relevant ASN block as assigned by ARIN; that is block-level RIR information, not an individual assignment record.

For identification, compare a fresh routing view with the observation date and check registry records for an individual assignment. If investigating a related IPv6 route, verify its origin ASN independently rather than inferring it from TENET’s historical account. No sampled neighbours were observed in this combined snapshot, so it offers no adjacency evidence for identifying providers or peers. The supplied material provides no security assessment.
