AS809

AS809 (PPD-TRANSIT) is an active but very small IPv6-only ASN registered under ARIN to PhirePhly Design, a single-operator/hobbyist network run by Kenneth Finnegan, that today announces just one IPv6 prefix and shows no public abuse signal as of August 2026.

ARIN RDAP records PhirePhly Design (org handle KF-123) as the registrant, with a top-level autnum registration event dated 2022-06-15 — this is the ASN's first-party allocation date, and it matches the record's "last changed" event, meaning nothing has changed since initial registration.

Routing-wise, AS809 originates a single IPv6 prefix, 2620:13b:1::/48, and zero IPv4 space. Its only visible peer/upstream relationship is AS7034 — also "PhirePhly Design," the same operator's other, older ASN. No PeeringDB record exists for AS809 itself (the API returns an empty result), so there is no dedicated peering policy or IX presence filed under this ASN; the operator's IX memberships (FCIX in Fremont, CA and MICE in Minneapolis, MN) and its "Open" general peering policy are recorded under sibling AS7034, not AS809.

CAIDA's ASN Rank places AS809 at 79459 — the floor rank CAIDA assigns to ASNs it has never observed in its topology graph — with a singleton customer cone of 1 ASN (itself), 0 prefixes, and 0 addresses; that non-observation sits alongside RIPEstat RIS data, which sees the announced /48 on 322 of 322 IPv6 peers, so the CAIDA floor reads as an absence of observation rather than a measurement of insignificance. No notable public usage, press, or community discussion was found; the profile reads as a personal BGP hobby network layered on top of the operator's primary AS7034 infrastructure.

Operator

PhirePhly Design (ARIN org handle KF-123); registered as an individual/sole-operator organization, not confirmed as separately incorporated [Confirmed] — ARIN RDAP autnum (rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/809)

Country / RIR

US, ARIN [Confirmed] — ARIN RDAP autnum

Allocated

2022-06-15 (ARIN RDAP autnum top-level registration event; also the "last changed" event — no changes since initial registration) [Confirmed] — ARIN RDAP autnum

Org status

active per ARIN RDAP (status: active); registrant PhirePhly Design (KF-123) and its point of contact are both validated/active; not confirmed as a formally incorporated business [Confirmed] — ARIN RDAP autnum

Contacts

registrant point of contact is a named individual per ARIN RDAP, holding administrative/technical/abuse/NOC roles; personal email, phone, and home address are withheld from this public page per repo privacy policy (see ARIN RDAP for the raw record)

[Confirmed existence; details withheld] — ARIN RDAP autnum

Security/abuse context (NEUTRAL, DATED)

no notable public abuse signal as of 2026-08-01 — CleanTalk 0.00% spam rate; a Spamhaus ASN-DROP text check found no match but is low-confidence; bgp.he.net flags "AS809 announces bogons," a routing-hygiene notice rather than confirmed abuse

Network & routing

Network type

small-scale IPv6-only transit/hobbyist AS; single /48 prefix, one peer/upstream (its own sibling AS7034) [Confirmed] — bgp.tools/as/809, bgp.he.net/AS809

Size

0 IPv4 prefixes / 0 IPv4 addresses; 1 IPv6 prefix (2620:13b:1::/48); CAIDA ASN Rank 79459 — the floor rank for an ASN CAIDA has never observed in its topology graph — with a singleton customer cone (1 ASN / 0 prefixes / 0 addresses); CAIDA's non-observation sits against RIPEstat RIS visibility of the /48 on 322/322 IPv6 peers

[Confirmed] — bgp.tools/as/809, bgp.he.net/AS809, asrank.caida.org/asns/809, stat.ripe.net/AS809

Routing/peering

single upstream/peer AS7034 (same operator); no PeeringDB record for AS809 itself (API returned empty); sibling AS7034 lists an Open general policy with no dedicated AS809 policy page [Confirmed] — peeringdb.com/api/net?asn=809, peeringdb.com/api/net?asn=7034

RPKI

the one announced prefix (2620:13b:1::/48) shows "ROA Signed and Valid" on bgp.he.net as of 2026-08-01 [Likely] — bgp.he.net/AS809

Notable usage

none found publicly; profile consistent with a personal/hobbyist BGP operator. IX presence (FCIX, MICE) is recorded under sibling AS7034 in PeeringDB, not under AS809 directly [Confirmed] — peeringdb.com/api/net?asn=7034

Related ASNs

AS7034 (same operator, "PhirePhly Design"; AS809's sole upstream/peer and the ASN carrying its PeeringDB/IX presence) [Confirmed] — bgp.tools/as/809, peeringdb.com/api/net?asn=7034

Analyst note

small single-operator IPv6-only ASN; core identity, allocation date, and routing footprint are well sourced from ARIN RDAP and bgp.tools/bgp.he.net. CAIDA ASN Rank is 79459, the floor rank for ASNs CAIDA has never observed in its topology graph, with a singleton customer cone (1 ASN / 0 prefixes / 0 addresses); that absence from CAIDA's graph sits against RIPEstat RIS visibility of the announced /48 on 322 of 322 IPv6 peers.
