AS880

AS880 is an active but minimal ASN belonging to GONET, the Government of Ontario's internal network for the Ontario Public Service (OPS), and it announces exactly one IPv4 prefix and no IPv6 space today. Live routing is thin: RIPEstat and CAIDA both show a single /24 (204.41.247.0/24) at full RIS visibility (327/327 peers), with no downstream customers and only one upstream/provider relationship.

The ASN sits inside ARIN's AS857–AS885 range, registered to the Ontario Ministry of Government Services / Infrastructure Technology Services, with a top-level RDAP registration date of 1990-08-07 and a last-changed date of 2021-02-23. That is a first-party registry fact, distinct from routing visibility: the /24 was first seen in RIPE RIS routing data only on 2022-02-05, decades after the ASN itself was registered.

Ontario's own GO-ITS 571TES network-quality standard describes GONET as a centralized, QoS-enabled service for the OPS carrying unified communications, voice, video, LAN and WAN traffic — an internal government network, not a commercial ISP, despite ipinfo.io's generic third-party "ISP" classification. No dedicated public GONET page exists; ontario.ca surfaces GONET only inside this internal IT-standards document.

Third-party data (ipinfo.io) names TELUS Communications (AS852) as AS880's sole peer/upstream, consistent with CAIDA's AS-degree figures showing one provider and zero peers, but this identity was not independently corroborated against a first-party BGP or RDAP network object, so it is held at Likely confidence. RPKI coverage is absent — the sole announced prefix carries no ROAs, and RIPEstat validation returns "unknown." No PeeringDB record exists for AS880, and no public peering policy has been published.

Security/abuse context (NEUTRAL, DATED)

no notable public abuse signal found as of an August 2026 search — not in Spamhaus/abuse.ch-adjacent search coverage or NANOG archives; a separate, unrelated 2026 Ontario correctional-facility breach is explicitly not attributed to AS880

Network & routing

Network type

internal government/enterprise network (OPS "GONET"), centralized QoS-enabled service per GO-ITS 571TES; ipinfo.io separately (third-party) labels it "ISP" [Confirmed for operator description; Likely for ISP label] — ontario.ca GO-ITS 571TES, ipinfo.io/AS880

Size

1 IPv4 prefix (204.41.247.0/24, 256 addresses); 0 IPv6 prefixes; CAIDA customer cone = 1 ASN / 1 prefix / 256 addresses [Confirmed] — RIPEstat announced-prefixes / routing-status, CAIDA AS Rank (asrank.caida.org/asns/880)

Routing/peering

full RIS visibility (327/327 v4 peers); CAIDA AS-degree shows 1 provider, 0 customers, 0 peers; sole upstream reported by third-party ipinfo.io as TELUS Communications (AS852) [Confirmed for counts; Likely for AS852 identity] — CAIDA AS Rank, RIPEstat routing-status, ipinfo.io/AS880

RPKI

not covered — the sole announced prefix has zero ROAs; RIPEstat RPKI validation returns "unknown" [Confirmed] — RIPEstat rpki-validation

Notable usage

GONET is the OPS's centralized QoS-enabled network per GO-ITS 571TES, carrying unified communications, voice, video, LAN and WAN traffic across Ontario government operations [Confirmed] — ontario.ca GO-ITS 571TES

Analyst note

AS880 is not a commercial peering ISP — it publishes no peering policy and has no PeeringDB record; treat it as a government/enterprise internal network (GONET) rather than a transit operator [Likely] — ontario.ca GO-ITS 571TES, peeringdb.com/asn/880
