AS84

AS84 is a legacy DoD/DNIC allocation registered under ARIN to the Navy Network Information Center (NNIC, OrgId NNICN-1, Virginia Beach, VA), carrying the handle "DNIC-AS-00084." A 1990s archive labeled it "DTNSRDC-AS1 — David Taylor Naval Ship Research and Development Center"; both the historical and current holders are U.S. Navy, a coherent lineage. The ARIN RDAP RegDate is 1986-10-03 (record updated 2011-07-05). It is lightly routed: about six IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 prefix (~66,560 IPv4 addresses), described by bgp.tools as a small BGP network peering with one other network and one upstream carrier; bgp.he.net notes it "announces bogons" (stated neutrally). For triage this is a legitimate but small Navy DNIC allocation. The NNIC operates many DoD DNIC ASNs (e.g. AS22, AS48, AS89). No abuse-dataset signal was found as of June 2026.
