AS790

AS790 is a legacy autonomous system registered under RIPE to Elisa Oyj (RIPE AS-Name EUNETFI), Finland's largest telecom operator; no announcement of any kind has been observed for it since 2020-05-28 (RIPEstat routing-status last_seen: 2001:670::/32, IPv6), and it currently announces 0 IPv4 and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

The AS-Name EUNETFI points toward a historical lineage in EUnet Finland, a well-known early-1990s Finnish ISP, but no operator-official Elisa page (elisa.fi or elisa.com) states this acquisition history explicitly, so the connection is noted but left unconfirmed rather than asserted as fact.

Routing-wise, AS790 is not an independently peered network: RIPE's routing policy for the ASN shows a single fixed relationship, importing from and exporting to AS719, which is also registered to Elisa Oyj. There is no PeeringDB network record for ASN 790. Elisa's actively marketed IP Transit and peering-facing ASN — the one referenced on Elisa's carrier/wholesale pages and pointed to PeeringDB — is AS6667, not AS790.

Elisa Oyj itself is an active, publicly traded company (Nasdaq Helsinki), reporting roughly EUR 2.3 billion in 2025 revenue and 6,200+ employees across 35 countries, and remains a market-leading Finnish telecom and digital-services provider. AS790's own RIPE registry status is LEGACY, first registered 2002-09-19 and last changed 2025-03-07.

Security/abuse context (NEUTRAL, DATED)

no notable public abuse signal found as of 2026-08-01 per CleanTalk (0 detected spam IPs, 0.00% spam rate) and an absence of NANOG archive discussion; Spamhaus and Cloudflare Radar checks returned HTTP 403 and are Unknown rather than confirmed-clean

Network & routing

Network type

legacy-status ASN (per RIPE aut-num status field), single-homed downstream of AS719 (also Elisa Oyj); not an independently peered or actively marketed network [Confirmed] — https://rest.db.ripe.net/ripe/aut-num/AS790

Size

currently 0 IPv4 / 0 IPv6 prefixes announced; no announcement of any kind observed since 2020-05-28 (RIPEstat routing-status last_seen: 2001:670::/32, IPv6); CAIDA AS rank 79459, customer cone singleton (1 ASN; 0 prefixes; 0 addresses)

[Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/data/routing-status/data.json?resource=790, https://api.asrank.caida.org/v2/restful/asns/790

Routing/peering

single fixed relationship in RIPE routing policy — import from AS719 (accept any), export to AS719; no dedicated peering policy published for AS790 on elisa.fi/elisa.com; Elisa's IP Transit / peering-facing ASN is AS6667, not AS790

[Confirmed] — https://rest.db.ripe.net/ripe/aut-num/AS790, https://elisa.fi/operaattoreille/muut-kapasiteettipalvelut/ip-transit/

RPKI

not assessable — AS790 announces no prefixes at check time (0 v4/0 v6), so there is no live route to validate against a ROA [Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/data/routing-status/data.json?resource=790

Notable usage

AS-Name EUNETFI suggests a historical association with EUnet Finland, an early-1990s Finnish ISP, though no operator-official source confirms the lineage explicitly; AS790 member of RIPE as-sets as-elisafi (93 ASNs) and as-kqfr-intl (14 ASNs) [Likely for EUnet Finland lineage; Confirmed for as-set membership] — https://bgp.tools/as/790

Related ASNs

AS719 (Elisa Oyj upstream that AS790 is single-homed to); AS6667 (Elisa Oyj's actively marketed IP Transit / peering-facing ASN) [Confirmed] — https://rest.db.ripe.net/ripe/aut-num/AS790, https://elisa.fi/operaattoreille/muut-kapasiteettipalvelut/ip-transit/

Analyst note

Encountered as a legacy, largely dormant ASN registered to Elisa Oyj (Finland's largest telecom). Live routing is downstream of AS719, and Elisa's peering-facing ASN is AS6667 — neither AS790 itself. Community/operator-forum coverage (NANOG, Reddit, etc.) was not found for AS790 in the sources consulted; that coverage should be read as partial rather than a confirmed absence.
