AS986

AS986 is an ASN assigned within ARIN’s 1–1876 block; a combined Route Views snapshot observed three IPv4 prefixes and no IPv6 prefixes at 2026-10-25 20:00 UTC. The supplied evidence does not identify its operator, country, or network type, so its organizational identity and purpose remain unknown.

Across route-views2 and route-views6 together, the snapshot counted 2,304 IPv4 addresses and two AS_PATH neighbours: AS7018 and AS54048. These are routing adjacencies in this observation, not verified commercial peers, upstreams, or customer relationships. The counts describe this timestamp and collector scope only; they do not establish current deployment, ownership, traffic prevalence, or legitimacy.

For identification, compare the three observed prefixes with the exact routes in the same snapshot, then check their origin and registration records independently before attributing them to an organization. Treat the two neighbour ASNs as leads for tracing paths, not evidence of a business relationship. A zero IPv6 count means none was observed in this combined snapshot; it does not establish that AS986 never announces IPv6.

Routing observation

Three IPv4 prefixes and zero IPv6 prefixes were observed in the combined Route Views snapshot at 2026-10-25 20:00 UTC.

Identity

Operator, country, and network type are Unknown from the supplied evidence.

Triage

AS7018 and AS54048 are observed AS_PATH neighbours; investigate route paths and registrations independently before drawing attribution or relationship conclusions.
