AS972

AS972 is an ASN with an Unknown operator in the supplied evidence; a combined routing observation recorded three IPv6 prefixes and no IPv4 prefixes at 2026-10-25 20:00 UTC across Route Views route-views2 and route-views6. This is a dated snapshot, not a statement about routing on 2026-10-26 or at another time.

The same observation recorded two AS_PATH neighbours: AS26073 and AS62623. These adjacencies do not establish verified peering, upstream, customer, or provider relationships. The zero IPv4 count means no IPv4 prefixes were observed in this snapshot; it does not show that the ASN is inactive or dormant.

IANA places AS972 within resource range 1-1876, described as assigned by ARIN. That identifies the allocating RIR for the block, not an individual assignment record or operator. For identification, compare a newer routing snapshot and inspect the specific IPv6 announcements and their paths; use authoritative organization records to establish the ASN's operator before attributing the routes or making security judgments.
