AS775

AS775 is a small, actively-routed research-network ASN registered under the RIPE handle FR-INRIA-ROCQ to Inria (Institut national de recherche en sciences et technologies du numérique), operated within France's National Research and Education Network ecosystem via RENATER. It currently announces 4 IPv4 prefixes (1,024 addresses) and zero IPv6 space, with a single observed BGP peer.

Inria is France's public computer-science and applied-mathematics research institute, founded in 1967 as IRIA and renamed Inria in 1980. RENATER (Groupement d'Intérêt Public RENATER) holds the RIPE org handle and mnt-by for AS775 and acts as registry sponsor, while Inria's own network team (ERI21-RIPE) is listed as technical contact. AS775 has no PeeringDB record.

Routing data is broadly consistent across sources: bgp.he.net and bgp.tools both show AS775 originating 4 IPv4 /24s with a single peer/upstream, AS2200 (Renater). This conflicts with the RIPE RPSL routing-policy object, which instead lists AS1309 as the configured import/export peer — an unresolved discrepancy between the registered policy object and current observed routing that no operator-official source clarified. No RPKI ROAs were found for AS775's announced prefixes.

The RIPE aut-num object's status is explicitly LEGACY, consistent with a pre-RIR-policy assignment later administered into the RIPE database. The RDAP top-level registration event reads 2001-10-01, most plausibly reflecting migration into RIPE's database rather than original assignment, though no earlier first-party RIR event exists. AS775's footprint is single-country: France (Paris/Rocquencourt).

Operator

Institut national de recherche en sciences et technologies du numérique (Inria; historically INRIA), Rocquencourt campus — RIPE AS-name FR-INRIA-ROCQ [Confirmed] — rdap.db.ripe.net/autnum/775, rest.db.ripe.net/ripe/aut-num/AS775.json

Country / RIR

FR, RIPE NCC (legacy record; ARIN RDAP bootstraps/redirects to RIPE) [Confirmed] — rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/775, rdap.db.ripe.net/autnum/775

Allocated

2001-10-01 (RIPE RDAP autnum top-level "registration" event; for this LEGACY-status AS this most plausibly reflects migration into the RIPE database rather than original assignment, since no earlier first-party RIR event exists); last changed 2021-09-07 [Confirmed] — rdap.db.ripe.net/autnum/775

Org status

LEGACY-status RIPE aut-num registration (pre-RIR-policy assignment), maintained by RENATER-MNT; IANA's 16-bit AS Numbers Registry places AS775 in block 1-1876, "assigned by ARIN" [Confirmed] — rest.db.ripe.net/ripe/aut-num/AS775.json, stat.ripe.net/data/as-overview

Contacts

certsvp@renater.fr (RENATER abuse, RA6839-RIPE); technical contact Equipe Reseau INRIA (ERI21-RIPE); RENATER HQ 23-25 rue Daviel, 75013 Paris [Confirmed] — rdap.db.ripe.net/autnum/775

Security/abuse context (NEUTRAL, DATED)

no notable public abuse signal found as of 2026-07-31; several dedicated threat-intel sources were unreachable (Spamhaus ASN-DROP 404, Talos 403, BGPView DNS failure), so this reflects bounded tool coverage, not an exhaustive sweep [Unknown]

Network & routing

Network type

research/education institute network, non-commercial, within France's NREN ecosystem (RENATER/GÉANT) [Confirmed] — rest.db.ripe.net/ripe/aut-num/AS775.json, renater.fr/le-reseau

Size

4 IPv4 prefixes / ~1,024 addresses; 0 IPv6 prefixes; customer cone = 1 ASN (itself), 4 prefixes, 1,024 addresses; CAIDA AS rank 39,871 [Confirmed] — bgp.he.net/AS775, bgp.tools/as/775, CAIDA ASRank

Routing/peering

single observed BGP peer/upstream AS2200 (Renater) per bgp.he.net and bgp.tools [Confirmed]; the RIPE RPSL routing-policy object instead lists AS1309 as configured import/export peer — flagged discrepancy, not resolved [Likely]

RPKI

no ROAs found (valid or invalid) for AS775's announced prefixes as of 2026-07-31 [Confirmed] — bgp.he.net/AS775

Notable usage

ASN for Inria's Rocquencourt research center; Inria founded 1967 (as IRIA, renamed 1980/2011), ~3,800 staff / ~1,300 researchers across 9 domestic centers plus one in Santiago, Chile [Likely] — en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Institute_for_Research_in_Computer_Science_and_Automation, rest.db.ripe.net/ripe/aut-num/AS775.json

Related ASNs

AS2200 (Renater, France's NREN — observed live peer/upstream); AS1309 (registered-but-stale RPSL peer object) [Confirmed for the observed AS2200 relationship; Likely for RPSL staleness of AS1309]

Registrant/maintainer

GIP RENATER (France's NREN), RIPE org handle ORG-RA8-RIPE, mnt-by RENATER-MNT; abuse contact certsvp@renater.fr (handle RA6839-RIPE) [Confirmed] — rdap.db.ripe.net/autnum/775

Analyst note

PeeringDB has no record for AS775 (404 on peeringdb.com/asn/775). inria.fr itself could not be fetched (blocked by Anubis anti-bot middleware on every attempted URL, including a Wayback fallback), so operator-mission facts rely on Wikipedia plus the RIPE registry description and RENATER's own reachable, first-party site.
