AS677
Operated by ASU-AS - Arizona State University.
Summary
- // analyst note
- Dormant/legacy ASN. RDAP top-level autnum events give allocated_date=1990-05-23 and last-changed=2009-04-23 (distinct from several nested entity/POC-level dates in the same record, which are decoys, not the ASN's own dates). Which ASU-affiliated ASN carries live traffic today (AS62600 vs AS2900) is unresolved between angles and left as an open conflict rather than asserted.
- // security note
- No notable public abuse signal found as of 2026-07-18 (Spamhaus ASN-DROP/SBL, NANOG archive searches) — search-scoped, not a live authoritative lookup.
About this ASN.
AS677 is a legacy autonomous system number registered under ARIN to Arizona State University that currently announces zero IPv4 and zero IPv6 prefixes, making it dormant in the global routing table despite carrying an active ARIN registration.
The ASN was allocated on 1990-05-23, per the RDAP autnum's top-level registration event, and its ARIN record last changed on 2009-04-23. It is named ASU-AS and sits under the university's University Technology Office / Network Communications group, based in Tempe, Arizona.
Sources disagree on which ASU-affiliated ASN now carries the university's live routed traffic. One angle points to AS62600 (Sun Corridor Network, Arizona Board of Regents) based on bgp.tools context; another points to AS2900 (Arizona Tri-University Network, allocated 1996). Neither claim is confirmed by an ASU first-party statement, so this remains an open question rather than a settled fact.
No PeeringDB entry exists for AS677 itself (peeringdb.com/asn/677 returns HTTP 404), so its network type and peering policy are unpublished. With zero live announcements, RPKI posture cannot be assessed — bgp.he.net shows 0 valid and 0 invalid originations, consistent with no active routes to validate.

Network & routing
- Network type
- Unknown — no PeeringDB entry exists for AS677 (confirmed 404) [Confirmed as sourced null] — https://www.peeringdb.com/asn/677
- Size / routing status
- dormant — 0 IPv4 and 0 IPv6 prefixes announced; not present in the global routing table despite ARIN status "active" [Confirmed] — https://bgp.he.net/AS677, https://bgp.tools/as/677
- Peering/upstreams
- none observed (no live BGP sessions visible); peering policy not published for AS677 itself [Confirmed as sourced null] — https://www.peeringdb.com/asn/677
- RPKI
- not assessable — 0 RPKI-valid and 0 RPKI-invalid originations on bgp.he.net, consistent with zero live announcements [Confirmed] — https://bgp.he.net/AS677
- Current live-traffic ASN
- disputed between angles — AS62600 (Sun Corridor Network) inferred from bgp.tools context vs AS2900 (Arizona Tri-University Network) per a separate community angle; neither confirmed by an ASU first-party statement [Likely, conflicting] — https://bgp.tools/as/677
