AS582

AS582 is a legacy autonomous system number registered under ARIN to "Air Force Systems Networking" (ARIN org handle 7ESG), a U.S. Air Force / Department of Defense entity administered through DISA's Columbus, Ohio registration office. ARIN's RDAP record shows the autnum's top-level registration event dated 1990-02-07, with the record's most recent metadata change on 2009-05-08 — this is a first-party RIR registry fact, distinct from two decoy entity-level dates nested in the same RDAP response (the 7ESG org entity shows 2008-06-05, and the REGIS10-ARIN contact entity shows 2009-06-24; neither of those is the ASN's allocation date). The registry name string, GDSS-21AF-AS, points toward the Global Decision Support System, an Air Mobility Command command-and-control platform used across 21st Air Force operations for airlift and air-refueling mission planning and scheduling — though no first-party document explicitly ties AS582 itself to that program by number, so the connection is inferred from naming rather than operationally confirmed. Unlike commercial ASNs, AS582 carries no public-facing operator website and no PeeringDB network listing, and it announces no routes: every routing source consulted (RIPEstat, CAIDA ASRank, bgp.he.net) agrees on zero announced IPv4/IPv6 prefixes, zero observed BGP peers among 300+ RIS route collectors, and a customer cone limited to the ASN itself. CAIDA marks it unseen in its AS-relationship graph, so its numeric rank (79,459) reflects an unrouted default rather than any topological measurement. No public abuse signal was found tied to AS582 as of July 2026, consistent with an inactive, non-transiting government allocation rather than a live commercial network.

Network & routing

Network type

U.S. military/federal government network; registry name string suggests a link to the Global Decision Support System (GDSS), an Air Mobility Command C2 platform for 21st Air Force — not independently confirmed to this specific ASN number

[Likely] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/582, https://www.ustranscom.mil/foia/docs/pia/2022%20GDSS-U%20PIA%20WEB.pdf

Size

dormant — 0 announced IPv4/IPv6 prefixes; customer cone = 1 ASN (itself), 0 prefixes, 0 addresses [Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/AS582, https://asrank.caida.org/asns/582

Routing/peering

NOT announced — 0/325 v4 and 0/322 v6 RIS peers seeing it; CAIDA degree total 0 (customer 0, peer 0, provider 0); corroborated by bgp.he.net (0 peers, 0 prefixes) [Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/AS582, https://bgp.he.net/AS582

RPKI

not assessable — no announced prefixes exist to validate against ROAs [Unknown/N-A] — inferred from zero announcements, https://stat.ripe.net/AS582

Notable usage

no confirmed public deployment tied to this specific ASN number beyond the registry name string; appears to be a dormant DoD/Air Force allocation, registry-active but unrouted [Likely] — https://ipinfo.io/AS582

Related ASNs

none confirmed; a PeeringDB org page for "Air Force Systems Networking" (org 20118) exists but does not list AS582 among its member networks [Unknown] — https://www.peeringdb.com/org/20118

Analyst note

dormant/legacy DoD ASN, registry-active but unrouted with zero peers/prefixes across every routing source checked; no IANA special-registry reference applies (normal unicast ASN allocation).
