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.

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.
