AS700

AS700 (ROKNET-AS) is a dormant legacy autonomous system registered to The Boeing Company that currently announces zero prefixes and has shown no live BGP activity since 2001.

ARIN RDAP records the autnum's top-level registration event as 1990-07-20, with a last-changed date of 2014-09-10. The registry name, ROKNET-AS, has no verified etymology; a possible link to Rockwell International's aerospace/defense business (acquired by Boeing in 1996) could not be confirmed from any first-party source.

RIPEstat's routing-status data shows only a brief historical footprint: a first-seen announcement of 205.175.208.0/24 on 2000-08-18 and a last-seen announcement of 198.62.8.0/24 on 2001-09-25. No route-collector visibility has been recorded since, and 0 of 324 v4 / 0 of 321 v6 RIS peers currently see this origin.

CAIDA AS Rank places AS700 at 79,459 with seen=false and cliqueMember=false; its customer cone is a singleton (itself, 0 prefixes, 0 addresses), and no PeeringDB record exists. This profile is consistent with an internal enterprise ASN rather than a transit or eyeball network — Boeing does not publish a peering policy for it.

Allocated

1990-07-20 (ARIN autnum top-level registration event); last changed 2014-09-10 [Confirmed] — ARIN RDAP autnum top-level events (nested entity-level dates such as AIR4-ARIN/NEO-ARIN 2005-01-14 and registrant-org THEBOE 1988-06-13 are excluded as non-authoritative for this field)

Org status

ARIN RDAP registry status Active; third-party route-collector observations (not attributable to Boeing itself) report no visible routing since 2001 (RIPEstat) / since 2023-10-09 (bgp.he.net) [Confirmed for RDAP status; Likely for third-party dormancy dating] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/700, https://bgp.he.net/AS700, https://ipinfo.io/AS700

Security/abuse context (NEUTRAL, DATED)

no notable public abuse signal found as of 2026-07-24 — confirmed absent from the live Spamhaus ASN-DROP feed (418 records); no NANOG-archive or general threat-feed report names AS700

Network & routing

Network type

enterprise/corporate network, not a transit or eyeball ISP; no PeeringDB entry exists for AS700 [Likely] — https://www.peeringdb.com/asn/700, https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/700

Size

dormant — 0 IPv4/IPv6 prefixes and 0 addresses currently announced; customer cone = 1 ASN (itself), 0 prefixes, 0 addresses [Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/AS700, https://asrank.caida.org/asns/700

Routing/peering

NOT currently announced — 0 of 324 v4 and 0 of 321 v6 RIS peers see this origin; CAIDA degree total/customer/peer all 0; no peering policy published [Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/AS700, https://asrank.caida.org/asns/700

Historical routing

first_seen 205.175.208.0/24 on 2000-08-18; last_seen 198.62.8.0/24 on 2001-09-25; no announcements recorded since [Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/AS700

RPKI

not assessable — AS700 announces no prefixes, so there are no ROAs to validate [Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/AS700

Notable usage

RDAP short name is "ROKNET-AS"; a possible legacy Rockwell-lineage naming (Boeing acquired Rockwell International's aerospace/defense business in 1996) could not be verified from any first-party Boeing or RIR source [Unknown] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/700

Analyst note

Encountered as a dormant legacy Boeing enterprise ASN with a short, unexplained 2000–2001 routing window and no activity since; a separate research pass (A5) surfaced an unrelated "ROK Technologies LLC" as a possible operator based on name similarity to "ROKNET" — this conflicts with the confirmed ARIN registrant record (The Boeing Company) and is not carried into the Fields/JSON as fact.
