AS614

AS614 is a legacy autonomous system number allocated by ARIN to California State University, Office of the Chancellor, under the RDAP autnum name CSUNET-AS. The top-level autnum registration event dates the allocation to 1990-04-02, with a last-changed event of 2022-07-15; both are first-party ARIN registry facts and are distinct from the separate, later registration dates carried by the entity-level registrant and technical-contact records, which describe when those contact objects were created rather than when the ASN itself was allocated. The standout finding across every routing source consulted is that AS614 is currently dormant: RIPEstat reports it as not announced with an empty prefix list, CAIDA's AS Rank shows zero customer-cone prefixes and zero peer/provider/customer degree, and both bgp.he.net and bgp.tools independently confirm zero announced IPv4 or IPv6 space and no presence in the global routing table. No PeeringDB entry exists for the ASN, and no dedicated public peering policy was located. CSU's live connectivity instead appears to run through other, actively-announced CSU-affiliated ASNs and/or CENIC. No notable public abuse signal, blocklist listing, or BGP hijack event was found for AS614 as of 2026-07-17; ARIN separately flags the registered abuse/technical POC as an unvalidated contact with no response since 2026-03-13, which is a contact-hygiene note rather than an abuse finding.

Operator

California State University, Office of the Chancellor (ARIN org CSU-Z; RDAP autnum name CSUNET-AS) [Confirmed] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/614

Country / RIR

US, ARIN [Confirmed] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/614

Allocated

1990-04-02 (ARIN RDAP top-level autnum "registration" event); last changed 2022-07-15 [Confirmed, two independent angles: A2 operator-official + A3 routing, both citing the same first-party RDAP top-level event and corroborated by bgp.tools "registration dates to April 2, 1990"] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/614, https://bgp.tools/as/614

Org status

active per ARIN RDAP (status: active) [Confirmed] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/614

Contacts

abuse/technical/administrative POC wedns@calstate.edu, +1-562-951-8500 (entity CDA56-ARIN, flagged "Unvalidated POC" by ARIN since 2026-03-13); registrant address 401 Golden Shore, Long Beach, CA 90802 [Confirmed] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/614

Security/abuse context (NEUTRAL, DATED)

no notable public abuse signal found as of 2026-07-17 — checked Spamhaus ASN-DROP, NANOG mailing-list archives, and general BGP-hijack reporting; no AS614-specific listing or incident located. ARIN flags the registered abuse/technical POC (CDA56-ARIN) as unvalidated since 2026-03-13 — a contact-hygiene note, not an abuse finding. Broader CSU-system ransomware/cyberattack news exists but is not sourced to AS614's own netblocks and is explicitly excluded here

Network & routing

Network type

enterprise/education end-user network (CSU systemwide administrative registration); currently dormant, not an actively-routed production ASN [Confirmed] — https://bgp.he.net/AS614

Size

dormant — 0 announced IPv4 prefixes/addresses, 0 IPv6 prefixes; RIPEstat routing-status shows 0/327 v4 and 0/322 v6 RIS peers seeing it, 0 observed neighbours [Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/, https://bgp.he.net/AS614, https://bgp.tools/as/614

Routing/peering

not announced in the global BGP table; CAIDA asnDegree total/customer/peer/provider all 0; customer cone = singleton (itself only); no PeeringDB listing (confirmed 404); no public peering policy found [Confirmed] — https://asrank.caida.org/asns/614, https://www.peeringdb.com/asn/614

RPKI

not assessable — no announced prefixes to hold ROAs against; bgp.tools shows 0 valid/0 invalid originations, consistent with a fully unrouted ASN [Confirmed] — https://bgp.tools/as/614

Notable usage

registration appears administrative/legacy rather than production; CSU's live routed connectivity runs under other CSU-affiliated ASNs (e.g. AS2150, AS2152) and/or CENIC — inference from zero-BGP-announcement data plus sibling-ASN references, not a directly stated operator claim

Related ASNs

possible sibling CSU-affiliated ASNs referenced in third-party routing databases (e.g. AS2150 "CSUNET-SW", AS2152) — not independently RDAP-verified as formally linked to AS614 in this pass

Analyst note

encountered as a dormant, ARIN-active but unrouted legacy ASN registered to the CSU Chancellor's Office; all consulted routing sources (RIPEstat, CAIDA, bgp.he.net, bgp.tools) independently agree on zero announcements and zero peers.
