AS916

AS916 is an actively routed autonomous system of minimal size whose operator has not been identified by any operator-published source; it originates a single IPv4 prefix and a single IPv6 prefix, with no confirmed relationship, notable-usage, or org-status finding.

As observed by the RouteViews route collector on 2026-08-20, AS916 originates 1 IPv4 prefix and 1 IPv6 prefix — an estimated 256 IPv4 addresses — with exactly one distinct neighboring ASN (AS11232) seen in the same snapshot. This is one collector's instantaneous view, not a registry-declared allocation size.

Targeted searches for operator-originated material — a peering policy, network/IR page, looking glass, or a NANOG/RIPE mailing-list post under an operator's own name naming AS916 — returned nothing. General web searches surfaced only third-party ASN directory/aggregator mirrors and unrelated results, so operator identity, country, and network type all stay Unknown as of an August 2026 search.

The CAIDA AS Relationships cache (dataset date 2026-08-01) carries no row naming AS916 in either the provider/customer column or the neighbor column, so no upstream, customer, or peer relationship is classified for this ASN; this is an absence from the published dataset, not a confirmed count of zero relationships.

The IANA AS Number registry places AS916 in the 1-1876 range recorded as "Assigned by ARIN," so its administering RIR is ARIN. Allocation date, RPKI validation posture, IX presence, and abuse contacts all remain Unknown.

Community mentions

No NANOG, RIPE, or networking-community (e.g. Reddit) discussion of AS916 found as of an August 2026 search.

Hijack / route-leak history

Unknown — no reported BGP hijack or route-leak incident involving AS916 found as of an August 2026 search.

CVE / malware

No CVE, malware, or botnet command-and-control association naming AS916 found as of an August 2026 search.

Peering observation

The single observed neighbor, AS11232, is an ordinary public ASN outside the reserved/private ranges, so the one recorded adjacency is unremarkable, not a leak artifact.

Operator

Unknown — no operator-published material (own-domain page, peering policy, network/IR page, looking glass, or NANOG/RIPE mailing-list post under an operator's own name) identifies the holder of AS916 as of an August 2026 search [Unknown]

Country / RIR

Country Unknown — no permitted source names AS916's operator or geo-footprint [Unknown]. RIR: ARIN — the IANA AS Number registry records the 1-1876 range containing AS916 as "Assigned by ARIN" [Confirmed] — the IANA Autonomous System Number registry 1-1876

Org status

Network & routing

Network type

Unknown — no operator-published source describes this network's purpose [Unknown]

Size

1 IPv4 prefix and 1 IPv6 prefix originated; an estimated 256 IPv4 addresses, as observed by RouteViews on 2026-08-20 [Confirmed] — the RouteViews BGP routing data (CC BY 4.0) AS916

Routing/peering

1 distinct neighboring ASN observed by RouteViews on 2026-08-20 (AS11232, an ordinary public ASN outside reserved/private ranges); peer_count and peers_sample are identical here since the full observed set is smaller than the sample cap. The CAIDA AS Relationships cache (dataset date 2026-08-01) carries no row naming AS916 in either column, so 0 providers, 0 customers, and 0 peers are classified among published neighbours — an absence from the published dataset, a floor and not a census, not a confirmed count of zero relationships. Peering policy: Unknown [Confirmed for the neighbor count; Unclassified for relationship roles; Unknown for policy] — the RouteViews BGP routing data (CC BY 4.0) AS916, the cached registry snapshots/caida-as-rel.csv

RPKI

Unknown — an unevaluated status, not a report of an absent or invalid ROA [Unknown]

Notable usage

Unknown — no operator-published source describes usage [Unknown]

Related ASNs

None found [Unknown]

Related fields

AS rank, customer cone size, and MANRS membership are all Unknown [Unknown]

Analyst note

Minimal-footprint, actively routed ASN — a single IPv4 prefix and single IPv6 prefix with one observed neighbor (AS11232) as of a 2026-08-20 RouteViews snapshot, not a registry-declared allocation size. No operator-published source identifies the holder, so operator, country, network type, and org status stay Unknown as of an August 2026 search. CAIDA (dataset date 2026-08-01, separate from the RouteViews observation) carries no relationship row for AS916, so relationship roles are unclassified rather than confirmed absent. RIR is ARIN, from the IANA AS Number registry range 1-1876. Allocation date, RPKI status, exchange presence, and abuse contacts are Unknown.
