AS805

AS805 is a small enterprise autonomous system registered under ARIN to Globe Life Inc., a NYSE-listed insurance holding company headquartered in McKinney, Texas, and it actively announces routes today rather than sitting dormant.

The ASN currently originates four IPv4 prefixes — 12.36.80.0/24 and the 140.235.192.0/22 block (whose two more-specifics, 140.235.193.0/24 and 140.235.194.0/24, are subsets of that /22, not additional address space) — for roughly 1,280 unique IPv4 addresses total. It announces no IPv6 prefixes.

bgp.he.net records two observed BGP sessions, AS7018 (AT&T Enterprises, LLC) and AS3356 (Level 3 Parent, LLC / Lumen); CAIDA's ASN-degree data confirms both as upstream transit (0 customers, 0 peers, 2 providers), not settlement-free peering, and no PeeringDB profile or published peering policy was located. Three of the four announced prefixes carry a valid RPKI ROA per bgp.he.net, with no invalid routes detected, though a full per-prefix breakdown via RIPEstat's rpki-validation endpoint was not independently confirmed.

ARIN RDAP's autnum object records a top-level registration (and last-changed) event of 2022-06-14, distinct from several nested entity-level events (individual and organizational POC registrations) in the same record that carry different, earlier dates and were correctly excluded as decoys. The same autnum object's remarks include a "Registration Comments" entry naming the registrant's own site, https://home.globelifeinsurance.com. CAIDA AS-rank for AS805 is 31910, with a customer cone of 1 ASN (itself) spanning the same 4 prefixes and roughly 1,280 addresses, and an ASN degree of 2 (0 customers, 0 peers, 2 providers).
