AS888

AS888 is an ARIN-registered enterprise ASN held by AMECO (American Equipment Company, Inc.), a Greenville, South Carolina construction-equipment rental firm, and it currently announces zero IPv4 and zero IPv6 prefixes — a dormant, unrouted allocation rather than an active network.

ARIN RDAP records AS888's registration event on 2022-06-07 (12:15:27 ET), under org handle AE-2651 (AS name AMECO-PRIMARY), with a last-changed event dated 2024-11-12. The sole listed point of contact has been marked unvalidated by ARIN since 2025-11-12.

Every routing source checked — RIPEstat, CAIDA AS Rank, bgp.he.net, and bgp.tools — agrees AS888 has no visible BGP presence: 0 of 327 RIS peers see it announcing IPv4, 0 of 321 see IPv6, and CAIDA's degree counts are zero in every direction (0 customer, 0 peer, 0 provider). Its customer cone is a singleton — the ASN itself, 0 prefixes, 0 addresses — and its CAIDA AS rank of 79,459 sits near the bottom of the global ranking.

AMECO's own site describes a construction-site equipment and services rental business — scaffolding, tool rental, marine and O&M support — with no network-operations or IT-infrastructure content anywhere on it. A PeeringDB net record exists for AS888 (org_id 39571) but its policy and facility fields are empty, with zero IXP connections listed, consistent with an internal enterprise WAN rather than a public-facing or transit network.

Network & routing

Network type

enterprise/end-user network; AMECO is a construction-equipment rental and services company, not a telecom carrier, ISP, or content/network operator [Confirmed] — https://www.ameco.com

Size

dormant — 0 IPv4 prefixes / 0 IPv4 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes; customer cone = 1 ASN (itself), 0 prefixes, 0 addresses [Confirmed] — https://api.asrank.caida.org/v2/restful/asns/888, https://stat.ripe.net/data/announced-prefixes/data.json?resource=888

Routing/peering

NOT announced — 0/327 RIS peers see IPv4, 0/321 see IPv6; CAIDA degree total 0 (customer 0, peer 0, provider 0); no upstreams or peers visible in any source [Confirmed]. A PeeringDB net record exists (org_id 39571, AMECO-PRIMARY) with no published peering policy and zero IXP/facility connections

[Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/data/routing-status/data.json?resource=888, https://www.peeringdb.com/api/net?asn=888

RPKI

not assessable — AS888 announces no prefixes, so there are no ROAs to validate; bgp.he.net shows 0 RPKI-valid and 0 RPKI-invalid origins [Confirmed] — https://bgp.he.net/AS888

Notable usage

none found; the ASN shows no announced prefixes or hosted domains. Given AMECO's business, it most likely supports internal corporate WAN/multihoming rather than any public-facing service, but no first-party statement confirms this [Likely] — https://ipinfo.io/AS888

Related ASNs

none identified specifically for AMECO beyond AS888 [Unknown]

Analyst note

enterprise ASN belonging to a construction-equipment rental company, not a network operator in the ISP/carrier/peering sense; currently dormant with zero announced prefixes and zero BGP peers across all four routing sources checked
