AS875

AS875 is an active, narrowly scoped Canadian government ASN registered to GONET — the Government of Ontario's network, operated under the Ministry of Government Services' Infrastructure Technology Services (ARIN org handle GOVER-10) — that today originates exactly one IPv4 prefix, 204.41.242.0/24 (256 addresses), and no IPv6 space.

ARIN's RDAP record for AS875 resolves through a covering block object (handle AS857, named GONET-ASN-17, spanning AS857–AS885) rather than a distinct AS875-only record — normal ARIN behavior for block-registered ASN ranges. That block's top-level registration event is dated 1990-08-07, with a last-changed event dated 2021-02-23; both apply to AS875 as its allocation and update dates of record.

Live routing is thin: AS875 reaches the Internet through exactly one observed upstream/peer, AS852 (TELUS Communications Inc.), with no other peers, upstreams, or IX presence visible in current BGP data. CAIDA ranks AS875 at 67,700 with a singleton customer cone (1 ASN, 1 prefix, 256 addresses) and an AS degree of 1 provider / 0 peers / 0 customers.

No operator-specific usage documentation was found for AS875. The "GONet" name also matches GONet Electronic Data Transfer (EDT), an unrelated Ontario Ministry of Health billing service for physicians, medical billing agents, and Independent Health Practitioners; nothing in that service's documentation names AS875 or its prefix, so the two are not conflated here.

Abuse signal

No notable public abuse signal found for AS875 as of an August 2026 search across Spamhaus ASN-DROP, the NANOG mailing-list archive (marc.info), AbuseIPDB, and LevelBlue/AlienVault OTX.

Bogon flag (unconfirmed)

bgp.he.net displays an "AS875 announces bogons" banner, but its own supporting Bogon Prefixes table is empty — treated as an unsubstantiated signal, not a confirmed finding.

Exposure

A single /24 through a single upstream is a narrow footprint; no CVE or malware association applies to an ASN-level record of this kind.

Operator

GONET — Government of Ontario network, operated under the Ministry of Government Services' Infrastructure Technology Services (ARIN org handle GOVER-10); no distinct operator legal name beyond the ARIN org record was found

Country / RIR

Canada (Ontario), ARIN [Confirmed] — https://bgp.he.net/AS875, https://bgp.tools/as/875

Allocated

1990-08-07 (ARIN RDAP top-level registration event on the covering autnum block AS857–AS885, handle AS857/GONET-ASN-17, which AS875 falls within); last changed 2021-02-23 [Confirmed] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/875

Org status

Security/abuse context (NEUTRAL, DATED)

no notable public abuse signal found as of 2026-08-09 — not in Spamhaus ASN-DROP, the NANOG (marc.info) archive, AbuseIPDB, or LevelBlue/AlienVault OTX; an "announces bogons" banner on bgp.he.net is unsubstantiated (its supporting data table is empty)

Network & routing

Network type

small government stub/enterprise network, not a public ISP or IXP participant — one announced prefix, one upstream [Likely] — https://bgp.he.net/AS875, https://bgp.tools/as/875

Size

1 IPv4 prefix / 256 addresses (204.41.242.0/24); 0 IPv6 prefixes; CAIDA AS rank = 67,700; customer cone = singleton (1 ASN; 1 prefix; 256 addresses) [Confirmed] — https://bgp.he.net/AS875, https://bgp.tools/as/875, https://api.asrank.caida.org/v2/restful/asns/875

Routing/peering

single observed upstream/peer AS852 (TELUS Communications Inc.); no other peers or IX memberships visible; no operator-published peering policy found [Confirmed for AS852; Unknown for policy] — https://bgp.he.net/AS875, https://bgp.tools/as/875

RPKI

no ROA coverage — RIPEstat's rpki-validation (Routinator) returns status "unknown" with validating_roas: [] for 204.41.242.0/24: no covering ROA exists, a confirmed negative rather than an open question [Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/875

Notable usage

no operator-specific usage documentation found; not to be confused with GONet Electronic Data Transfer (EDT), an unrelated Ontario Ministry of Health billing service that shares the "GONet" name but is not tied to AS875 or its prefix by any source found [Unknown] — https://bgp.he.net/AS875

Related ASNs

falls within ARIN's covering block AS857–AS885 (handle AS857, GONET-ASN-17); AS852 (TELUS Communications Inc.) is its sole observed upstream, not a Government of Ontario ASN [Confirmed] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/875, https://bgp.he.net/AS875

Analyst note

encountered as a small, single-prefix Canadian provincial-government ASN whose RDAP record resolves through a shared block object (AS857–AS885); live routing is minimal (one /24 via TELUS) and no dedicated operator website or peering policy could be confirmed as of 2026-08-09.
