AS800

AS800 is the actively routed autonomous system for OneWeb, the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite broadband operator now part of Eutelsat Group following the 2023 Eutelsat–OneWeb merger. It announces 19 IPv4 prefixes (0 IPv6) with full BGP visibility (328/328 RIS peers), a CAIDA AS rank of 7,800, and a customer cone of 2 ASNs — a live, well-connected commercial network, not a dormant or legacy registration.

ARIN's RDAP autnum record shows AS800 registered 2018-08-20 (last changed 2018-08-23) to OneWeb (ARIN OrgID WDL-21). OneWeb operates a constellation of 600+ satellites; since the 2023 merger its ultimate parent is Eutelsat Communications S.A., which is unifying branding across its combined GEO+LEO "multi-orbit" business while keeping "OneWeb" as the constellation's name.

The ASN is heavily transit-dependent: CAIDA measures an AS degree of 12 (1 customer, 0 settlement-free peers, 11 providers), with upstreams including Hurricane Electric, EdgeUno, Telstra, and Bharti Airtel. bgp.he.net separately lists 12 observed adjacencies it classifies as peers; the gap between CAIDA's peer count and bgp.he.net's peer list likely reflects differing settlement-free-peering methodology rather than a data error.

RPKI coverage is largely valid — bgp.he.net reports 17 of 19 announced IPv4 prefixes as RPKI Originated Valid, and bgp.tools reports 18 of 18 prefixes it tracks as valid — though bgp.he.net also flags AS800 as announcing at least one bogon-space prefix, a routing-hygiene caution distinct from RPKI status.

Registry contacts split between a McLean, Virginia, US technical/administrative address and a London, UK address, reflecting OneWeb's post-merger corporate structure; CAIDA geotags the ASN to the US. The published abuse contact is abuse@oneweb.net.

Operator

OneWeb (WorldVu Satellites / OneWeb Global Ltd), now part of Eutelsat Communications S.A. (Eutelsat Group) after the 2023 Eutelsat–OneWeb merger; ARIN OrgID WDL-21 [Confirmed] — ARIN RDAP, eutelsat.com/en/group/about-us.html

Country / RIR

US, ARIN [Confirmed] — rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/800

Allocated

2018-08-20 (ARIN RDAP autnum top-level registration event); last changed 2018-08-23 [Confirmed] — rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/800

Org status

Active (ARIN RDAP status), part of Eutelsat Communications S.A. (Eutelsat Group) since the 2023 merger; PeeringDB RIR status "ok" [Confirmed] — rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/800, peeringdb.com/net/17619

Contacts

Security/abuse context (NEUTRAL, DATED)

no notable public abuse signal found as of 2026-08-01 — not in Spamhaus ASN-DROP search results, NANOG archives, or general threat-intel search; RPKI hygiene largely valid with a bgp.he.net bogon-announcement caution; a 48-hour Dec 2024/Jan 2025 outage was a leap-year ground-segment software bug, not a security incident [Likely; abuse-feed coverage Unknown — no authenticated feed queried] — spamhaus.org/drop/asndrop, theregister.com/2025/01/06/eutelsat_oneweb_leap_year

Network & routing

Network type

LEO satellite broadband constellation (600+ satellites); PeeringDB categorizes the network as "Cable/DSL/ISP," the closest available taxonomy bucket [Confirmed] — peeringdb.com/net/17619, eutelsat.com/en/group/about-us.html

Size

19 IPv4 prefixes / ~7,168 IPv4 addresses, 0 IPv6 prefixes (bgp.tools shows 18/18 — minor crawler-timing discrepancy); CAIDA customer cone = 2 ASNs, 276 prefixes, 181,248 addresses [Confirmed] — stat.ripe.net/data/routing-status, bgp.he.net/AS800, bgp.tools/as/800, asrank.caida.org

Routing/peering

full BGP visibility (328/328 RIS peers, IPv4); CAIDA AS degree total 12 (1 customer, 0 settlement-free peers, 11 providers); upstreams include Hurricane Electric (AS6939/AS6461), EdgeUno (AS7195), Telstra, Bharti Airtel (AS9498) [Confirmed]. Peering policy Selective per PeeringDB, signed contract required, IRR as-set AS-OW

[Likely] — stat.ripe.net, asrank.caida.org, bgp.tools/as/800, peeringdb.com/net/17619

RPKI

majority valid — 17/19 IPv4 prefixes RPKI Originated Valid (bgp.he.net), 18/18 (bgp.tools); bgp.he.net separately flags AS800 as announcing at least one bogon-space prefix [Likely] — bgp.he.net/AS800, bgp.tools/as/800

Notable usage

routes OneWeb's LEO satellite broadband constellation as part of Eutelsat's combined GEO+LEO "multi-orbit" business, targeting enterprise/government connectivity [Likely] — eutelsat.com/en/group/about-us.html

Related ASNs

none identified beyond AS800 itself in this research pass [Unknown]

Analyst note

Live, actively-routed commercial ASN (not dormant) for a LEO satellite operator now under Eutelsat Group; registry and routing facts are strongly corroborated across RIPEstat, CAIDA, bgp.he.net, and bgp.tools, with only minor prefix-count and peer-vs-provider classification discrepancies between crawlers.
