AS808

AS808 is an actively announced government enterprise ASN registered to GONET (Government of Ontario, Ministry of Government Services / Infrastructure Technology Services), originating roughly 53 IPv4 prefixes and no IPv6 space through a single visible upstream, TELUS Communications Inc. (AS852).

The ARIN RDAP record names the registrant organization GOVER-10 ("GONET") and lists the autnum status as Active. PeeringDB carries a related parent organization record under the legal name "Ontario Public Service" (222 Jarvis St, Toronto), consistent with a provincial-government-run WAN rather than a commercial network operator; PeeringDB's own info_type/info_traffic fields are blank, and no dedicated network-operations or peering-policy page could be found on ontario.ca.

The ARIN RDAP autnum record for AS808 exposes only a top-level "last changed" event (2012-02-24); it carries no top-level "registration" event, confirmed genuine (not truncation) via a live untruncated re-fetch. The 2007-09-24 date sometimes associated with this record belongs to the registrant ORG object (GOVER-10), not the autnum itself, and is excluded here per instruction.

CAIDA ASRank places AS808 at rank 12557, with a customer cone of 1 ASN, 53 prefixes, and 1,016,064 addresses (asnDegree total 1: customer 0, peer 0, provider 1) — independently confirming the single-upstream AS852 reading. RPKI status is Unknown for this record. A related ASN, AS857, is registered under the same PeeringDB parent organization.

Exposure

AS808 is a single-homed government enterprise WAN (via AS852/TELUS), not a hosting, broadband, or transit ASN, which structurally limits its public abuse surface compared to eyeball or hosting networks.

Abuse signal

no notable public abuse, hijack, or malware association found across bgp.he.net, bgp.tools, ipinfo.io, and RIPEstat as of 2026-08-01 [Likely] — direct lookups on Spamhaus and Cisco Talos returned HTTP 403 and could not confirm or rule out a listing either way.

Registry hygiene

ARIN lists three points of contact for the org record; two carry unvalidated-POC flags with no confirmed response since 2019 and 2023 respectively, suggesting under-maintained registry contact details despite the ASN itself remaining Active.

Allocated

Unknown — the ARIN RDAP autnum top-level events[] carries only a "last changed" action (2012-02-24), no "registration" event; confirmed genuine (not truncation) via a live untruncated re-fetch.

Analyst note

AS rank and customer-cone size are sourced from CAIDA ASRank (rank 12557; cone 1 ASN / 53 prefixes / 1,016,064 addresses; asnDegree total 1 — customer 0, peer 0, provider 1), independently confirming the single-upstream AS852 reading. RPKI status remains Unknown for this record. allocated_date is a confirmed negative: the ARIN RDAP autnum object carries a top-level events[] with exactly one member, "last changed" (2012-02-24), and no top-level registration event; the 2007-09-24 date is the registrant ORG object's (GOVER-10) registration date, not the autnum's.
