AS584

AS584 is a legacy autonomous system number registered under ARIN to "Air Force Systems Networking," a U.S. Air Force / Department of Defense entity, with day-to-day registration contact handled by DISA-Columbus (300 North James Road, Whitehall, OH). The registrant address on file is Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama — 501 East Moore Dr, Bldg 884 Rm 1100, Gunther Annex — home of Air University and historically the 23rd Air Force. The AS name, GDSS-23AF-AS, plausibly references the Global Decision Support System (GDSS), a USTRANSCOM Mobility Air Forces command-and-control platform used for airlift and air-refueling mission planning, though no first-party ARIN or USAF document explicitly ties this specific ASN to that program, so that link is treated as a plausible-not-proven inference rather than fact. The registry status is active, but AS584 is not currently routed: every source consulted (RIPEstat routing-status, CAIDA AS Rank, bgp.he.net) agrees on zero announced IPv4 or IPv6 prefixes, zero visible BGP peers, zero upstreams, and a customer cone limited to the ASN itself. There is no PeeringDB net record and no public peering policy, consistent with a closed, non-commercial DoD network. No notable public abuse signal was found as of 2026-07-11.

Security/abuse context (NEUTRAL, DATED)

no notable public abuse signal found as of 2026-07-11 — no dedicated AbuseIPDB ASN page, Spamhaus listing, or NANOG-archive thread specific to AS584; sourced-absence finding, not a clean-record certification, consistent with a restricted DoD network rather than commercial transit/hosting [Likely] — https://www.spamhaus.org/blocklists/spamhaus-blocklist/, https://www.abuseipdb.com/, https://archive.nanog.org/list/archives.html

Network & routing

Network type

Government/military (U.S. Air Force / DoD); not a commercial ISP or carrier — no PeeringDB net record found [Confirmed] — https://www.peeringdb.com/api/net?asn=584 (404)

Size

dormant — 0 IPv4 prefixes / 0 IPv4 addresses, 0 IPv6 prefixes; customer cone = 1 ASN (itself), 0 prefixes, 0 addresses [Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/AS584, https://asrank.caida.org/asns/584

Routing/peering

NOT announced — 0 of 325 RIS peers see v4 routes, 0 of 322 see v6; CAIDA degree total 0 (customer 0, peer 0, provider 0); corroborated by bgp.he.net showing 0 peers observed; no PeeringDB entry, no public peering policy

[Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/AS584, https://asrank.caida.org/asns/584, https://bgp.he.net/AS584

RPKI

not assessable — AS584 announces no prefixes, so RIPEstat's rpki-validation call was skipped (requires a prefix) and there are no ROAs to report [Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/AS584

Notable usage

AS name GDSS-23AF-AS plausibly ties to the Global Decision Support System (GDSS), USTRANSCOM's Mobility Air Forces C2 system for airlift/air-refueling mission planning (~19,000 users, 250+ worldwide locations per the GDSS Privacy Impact Assessment), but no first-party source confirms this specific ASN maps to that program

Analyst note

Closed U.S. Air Force / DoD ASN, registry-active but not routed in the global BGP table. No commercial website, no PeeringDB record — legitimate sourced nulls for a restricted government network, not research gaps.
