AS713

AS713 is a dormant, legacy autonomous system allocated to the U.S. Air Force under the org handle Air Force Systems Networking (registered as AFMPCGW-AS) that currently announces zero IPv4 and zero IPv6 prefixes in the global routing table, with no visible peers, upstreams, or downstreams.

ARIN RDAP records the ASN's top-level registration event as 1990-08-23, with a last-changed date of 2008-08-18. Administrative, technical, and abuse contact responsibilities are delegated to DISA-Columbus (Defense Information Systems Agency), while the registrant address is Maxwell AFB, Alabama.

Multiple routing sources agree the ASN is unrouted: RIPEstat, CAIDA AS Rank, and bgp.he.net all show 0 announced prefixes and 0 peering relationships, and CAIDA's customer cone reduces to the ASN itself (1 ASN, 0 prefixes, 0 addresses) with an AS rank of 79,459. No PeeringDB network object exists for AS713 specifically, though the parent org (id 20118) lists sibling Air Force ASNs 65, 123, 175, 221, and 301.

No dedicated operator website, self-published peering-policy document, or public "about" page was found — expected for a non-commercial military allocation. The only authoritative first-party source located is the ARIN RDAP registry entry itself.

Operator

Air Force Systems Networking (U.S. Air Force / DoD; ARIN org handle 7ESG; admin/technical/abuse contact delegated to DISA-Columbus) [Confirmed] — ARIN RDAP (rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/713)

Country / RIR

US, ARIN [Confirmed] — ARIN RDAP

Allocated

1990-08-23 (ARIN RDAP top-level autnum registration event); last changed 2008-08-18 [Confirmed] — ARIN RDAP

Org status

active per ARIN registry status field, but operationally dormant in the global routing table (0 announced prefixes) [Confirmed] — ARIN RDAP, bgp.he.net

Contacts

disa.columbus.ns.mbx.arin-registrations@mail.mil (DISA-Columbus, 300 North James Road, Whitehall, OH 43213); registrant address 501 East Moore Dr. Bldg 884, Maxwell AFB, AL 36114 [Confirmed] — ARIN RDAP

Security/abuse context (NEUTRAL, DATED)

no notable public abuse signal found as of 2026-07-25 — not in Spamhaus ASN-DROP or NANOG archives; Talos and AbuseIPDB unverified (HTTP 403 on fetch), left as Unknown rather than asserted clean

Network & routing

Network type

Government/military — U.S. Air Force network infrastructure, administratively supported by DISA (Columbus field office) [Confirmed] — ARIN RDAP

Size

dormant — 0 IPv4 prefixes / 0 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes; customer cone = 1 ASN (itself), 0 prefixes, 0 addresses [Confirmed] — RIPEstat routing-status, CAIDA AS Rank, bgp.he.net, bgp.tools (2026-07)

Routing/peering

NOT announced — 0 peers, 0 upstreams, 0 downstreams across CAIDA/bgp.tools/bgp.he.net; no PeeringDB network object for AS713 itself (parent org id 20118 lists sibling ASNs 65, 123, 175, 221, 301) [Confirmed] — peeringdb.com/org/20118, bgp.tools/as/713

RPKI

not assessable — AS713 announces no prefixes, so there are no ROAs to validate [Confirmed] — RIPEstat rpki-validation (skipped, requires an announced prefix)

Notable usage

None observed; AS713 originates no prefixes and appears to be reserved/dormant Air Force numbering rather than in active production use [Likely] — bgp.tools, ipinfo.io

Related ASNs

sibling U.S. Air Force ASNs under the same PeeringDB org (id 20118) — AS65, AS123, AS175, AS221, AS301 [Likely] — peeringdb.com/org/20118

Analyst note

Encountered as a dormant, unannounced U.S. Air Force ASN with no public operator website or peering-policy document beyond the ARIN registry record; all routing sources agree on zero announcements and zero peers.
