AS832

AS832 is a dormant legacy ASN registered under ARIN to "Beel Sygma Systems Management Inc." (org handle BSSM-3) — RDAP's own spelling, almost certainly a registry-side typo for "Bell Sygma," a Bell Canada-affiliated entity once based in Don Mills, Ontario. Every routing source checked (RIPEstat, CAIDA ASRank, bgp.he.net, bgp.tools) agrees it announces zero IPv4 and zero IPv6 prefixes today, with zero visible BGP peers.

The ASN was registered 1994-06-01 per ARIN RDAP's top-level autnum event, and its RIR status remains Active. RIPEstat's routing-status returns empty first_seen and last_seen fields for AS832 — no RIS-observed origination has ever been recorded, a stronger finding than merely "currently unrouted."

The registrant organization is very likely defunct: a Canadian corporate-registry aggregator records "Bell Sygma Systems Management Inc." as inactive, amalgamated into Bell Sygma Inc. on 1996-01-01, and CGI Group's own press release confirms it acquired and closed the wider Bell Sygma business on 1998-07-01 — consistent with AS832's complete routing inactivity today.

CAIDA ranks AS832 at 79,459 — near the bottom of the global ranking — with a customer cone of a single ASN (itself), zero prefixes, and zero addresses; its AS degree is 0 across customer, peer, and provider relationships. No PeeringDB record, operator website, or published peering policy exists for this ASN.

A related ASN, AS831, is registered under a separate but near-identically named ARIN org record — handle BSSM-2, "Bell Sygma Systems Management Inc.," versus AS832's own BSSM-3, "Beel Sygma Systems Management Inc." The two ASNs are not a shared registrant, but they do share the identical point of contact (handle CC52-ARIN) and the same Don Mills, Ontario premises.

RPKI posture cannot be assessed for AS832 because it announces no prefixes, so there is nothing for RIPEstat's validation check to test.

Operator

"Beel Sygma Systems Management Inc." (ARIN org handle BSSM-3; RDAP spelling, likely a registry-side typo for "Bell Sygma") [Confirmed] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/832

Country / RIR

CA, ARIN [Confirmed] — ARIN RDAP autnum (registrant address Don Mills, Ontario)

Allocated

1994-06-01 (ARIN RDAP autnum top-level registration event); last changed 1994-06-01 [Confirmed] — ARIN RDAP autnum top-level events

Org status

RDAP status Active for the ASN registration itself; registrant organization very likely defunct since 1996-1998 (Bell Sygma sister divisions amalgamated 1996-01-01, acquired and closed by CGI 1998-07-01), consistent with the ASN's fully unrouted state [Likely] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/832, https://www.companiesofcanada.com/company/288507-7/bell-sygma-systems-management-inc/ (1996 amalgamation), https://www.cgi.com/en/cgi-shareholders-approve-acquisition-of-bell-sygma (1998 acquisition)

Contacts

an ARIN-listed administrative/technical/abuse contact exists (handle CC52-ARIN) but is an individual POC and is withheld per repo personal-contact-detail policy; ARIN itself flags it unvalidated since 2010-06-10, corroborating an abandoned registration; registrant address 100 Wynford Drive, 1st Floor, Don Mills, Ontario, Canada

Security/abuse context (NEUTRAL, DATED)

no notable public abuse signal found as of 2026-08-07 — not in AbuseIPDB, Spamhaus (SBL/DBL/XBL), Talos Intelligence, VirusTotal, or NANOG archives; AS is currently unrouted

Network & routing

Network type

Unknown — no PeeringDB record exists for AS832 (404 on both API and web page, re-confirmed 2026-08-07); bgp.tools independently lists its network type as Unknown too [Confirmed absence] — https://www.peeringdb.com/asn/832, https://bgp.tools/as/832

Size

dormant — 0 IPv4 prefixes / 0 IPv4 addresses, 0 IPv6 prefixes; customer cone = 1 ASN (itself), 0 prefixes, 0 addresses [Confirmed] — RIPEstat routing-status / CAIDA AS Rank / bgp.he.net / bgp.tools (2026-08)

Routing/peering

NOT announced — 0 of 327 RIS peers see it for IPv4, 0 of 321 for IPv6; CAIDA degree total 0 (customer 0, peer 0, provider 0); no upstreams or peers visible in any source [Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/data/routing-status/data.json?resource=832, https://asrank.caida.org/asns/832

RPKI

not assessable — AS832 announces no prefixes, so RIPEstat's rpki-validation check was skipped (requires a --prefix argument); no ROAs are exercised in practice [Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/data/rpki-validation/data.json?resource=832

Notable usage

None found — no operator-published traffic, customer, or service description exists for AS832, and no corroborating NANOG discussion or BGP incident-database entry was found either [Confirmed absence] — https://bgp.tools/as/832

Related ASNs

AS831 — registered under a separate ARIN org record (handle BSSM-2, "Bell Sygma Systems Management Inc.") from AS832's own registrant (handle BSSM-3, "Beel Sygma Systems Management Inc."), but sharing the identical POC (CC52-ARIN) and the same Don Mills, Ontario premises

Analyst note

Encountered as a dormant legacy ASN registered to a Bell Canada-affiliated entity whose own RDAP record misspells its name ("Beel Sygma" for "Bell Sygma"); the registrant is very likely defunct since the late 1990s, and all routing sources agree on zero announcements and zero peers. Sibling AS831 is registered under a separate ARIN org record (BSSM-2) that shares this ASN's POC (CC52-ARIN) and Don Mills premises but is not the same registrant object (AS832's is BSSM-3).
