AS95

AS95 is a legacy DoD/DNIC allocation registered under ARIN to the United States Department of Defense, carrying the handle "DNIC-AS-00095." PeeringDB's org record and Potaroo render the holder as "United States Department of Defense (DoD)," while some aggregators show "DoD Network Information Center" — a naming discrepancy, but both refer to the same DoD/DNIC entity (administered via DISA Columbus). Its PeeringDB record (last updated 2026-04-04, RIR status "ok") discloses no prefixes, peering exchanges, or facilities — consistent with a dormant public-table presence. One historical footnote: a March 2021 NANOG thread on the DoD/AS8003 (GRSCORP) prefix announcements noted IRR route objects referencing AS95 as the "real DoD" origin used alongside AS8003. For triage this is a classic registered-but-dormant defense allocation, useful as a known-good DoD reference point; dormancy is assessed rather than table-confirmed this cycle (hence confidence Medium). No notable public abuse signal was found as of June 2026.

Analyst note

A classic registered-but-dormant defense allocation; useful as a known-good DoD reference point. Naming discrepancy (DoD vs DoD NIC) noted — same entity. Recommend a live BGP-table pull at publish time.
