AS126 is a legacy fall-1987 DoD/DNIC allocation registered under ARIN to the United States Department of Defense (OrgId USDDD, 3990 E. Broad Street, Columbus OH), carrying the handle "DNIC-AS-00126." Its historical RFC-era label was "MINSY-POE-AS / Mare Island Naval Shipyard" — a now-closed California naval shipyard — another case where the legacy label no longer matches the current generic DoD holder. The ARIN autnum RegDate is 1987-09-09 (registry updated 2025-09-12; org RegDate 2007-01-12). It is minimally active, announcing a single IPv4 /24 (134.229.217.0/24, 256 addresses) with peer/upstream the DoD internal AS27065. For triage this is a minimally active DoD network — one /24 in the routing table via a DoD internal AS; distinguish the current DoD holder from the historical Mare Island Navy label. No notable public abuse signal was found as of June 2026.
