AS978
AS978 announces 3 IPv4 and 0 IPv6 prefixes and peers with 2 other networks.
Summary
- // analyst note
- Combined Route Views observation from route-views2 and route-views6 at 2026-10-25 20:00 UTC; AS_PATH neighbours do not establish commercial relationships.
About this ASN.
AS978 has no identified operator in the supplied evidence; a combined Route Views snapshot observed three IPv4 prefixes and no IPv6 prefixes on 2026-10-25 at 20:00 UTC. This is a limited routing observation, not proof of dormancy or inactivity.
The IANA ASN block data places AS978 in resource range 1–1876 and says the range is assigned by ARIN. That identifies the allocating RIR for the block, not an individual assignment record or the ASN’s organization, location, or use.
The combined snapshot from route-views2 and route-views6 estimates 768 IPv4 addresses across the three observed prefixes. Its two AS_PATH neighbours were AS174 and AS3356. Adjacency alone does not establish a business relationship or show that either network is an upstream.
For identification, compare the exact prefixes and origin paths against the intended network’s records and another dated routing view. Treat the neighbours only as path context. The supplied snapshot and registry block data do not establish operator, country, products, website, safety, or security status.
- Observed routing
- Three IPv4 prefixes and zero IPv6 prefixes were observed in the combined route-views2 and route-views6 snapshot at 2026-10-25 20:00 UTC.
- Triage
- Operator and deployment status are Unknown; the snapshot does not show whether AS978 is dormant or active outside that observation.

Who it talks to.
Neighbours observed by RouteViews at 2026-11-06, lowest ASN first. Relationships are inferences from the CAIDA AS Relationships Dataset, 2026-08-01, and establish no commercial arrangement; a dash means the inference did not resolve.
