AS998

AS998 is an ASN assigned by ARIN, with eight IPv4 prefixes and two IPv6 prefixes observed in a combined routing snapshot at 2026-10-25 20:00 UTC. This establishes visible routing in that snapshot, but the supplied evidence does not identify its operator, country, network type, or website.

The two linked Route Views RIB sources describe one combined observation across route-views2 and route-views6. The snapshot estimates 5,888 IPv4 addresses across the observed prefixes. It does not establish who owns or operates AS998, where it is deployed, or whether the routes represent a particular service.

Four AS_PATH neighbours were observed: AS174, AS701, AS3257, and AS6079. Treat these as routing adjacencies for this snapshot, not verified peers, upstreams, or customer relationships. For investigation, compare later snapshots and consult authoritative operator records before associating AS998 with an organization or service. Absence from another snapshot alone would not show that the ASN is inactive.
