AS894

AS894 (NINJA-IX-SERVICES-ASN) is a small, active ASN registered to Ninja-IX Services LLC that announces one IPv4 /24 and IPv6 space anchored at a /40, all of it RPKI-valid. It operates as a limited-transit adjunct to the nonprofit Ninja-IX internet exchange fabric rather than as that fabric's primary route-server ASN, which is AS53698.

ARIN RDAP records AS894's autnum registration event on 2022-06-07 (14:02:08 UTC-4), with an identical last-changed timestamp, meaning the ASN has not been re-registered since. The registrant, Ninja-IX Services LLC (ARIN handle NSL-380), lists an address at 530 E McDowell Road, Phoenix, AZ, matching the CAIDA-geolocated coordinates. Autnum status is active.

Routing data is thin but consistent: RIPEstat shows one announced IPv4 prefix (23.137.82.0/24, 256 addresses) and IPv6 space at 2602:fb5d::/40 plus an explicit /48. CAIDA ranks the ASN 59,977 globally, with a singleton customer cone (itself, 1 prefix, 256 addresses), 0 inferred upstreams, and 6 inferred peers; bgp.he.net separately observes 8 peer sessions including Hurricane Electric, GSL Networks, and NetActuate.

The corporate relationship between registrant Ninja-IX Services LLC and Ninja-IX Corporation, the not-for-profit IXP operator behind AS53698, AS35940, and AS400047, is not spelled out in operator-published text. PeeringDB's operator-submitted notes describe AS894 as a "Limited transit provider for the Ninja-Connect product," which appears to sit outside Ninja-IX Corporation's own stated no-transit, no-data-center scope — a gap worth independent confirmation rather than an established fact.

All three of AS894's announced prefixes validate as RPKI-valid (routinator) as of the 2026-08-09 RIPEstat query, with no mixed or invalid statuses recorded.

Routing/peering

0 CAIDA-inferred upstreams; 6 CAIDA-inferred peers vs. 4 RIPEstat-observed neighbours (methodology discrepancy, range stated); bgp.he.net independently observes 8 peer sessions including Hurricane Electric, GSL Networks, and NetActuate [Confirmed]. PeeringDB peering policy: Open, no ratio or contract requirement [Likely]

Analyst note

Registrant "Ninja-IX Services LLC" is related to but distinct from "Ninja-IX Corporation," the not-for-profit IXP operator whose own site states it does not sell transit. PeeringDB's operator-submitted description of AS894 as a limited-transit ASN for "Ninja-Connect" therefore describes an activity that appears to sit outside the parent brand's stated scope — flagged for confirmation, not asserted as settled fact.
