AS10924 DLAS-ASN

DLAS-ASN belongs to the Division of Legislative Automated Systems, the IT agency of the Virginia General Assembly — the branch office that runs the legislature's bill-tracking, session and public-records systems rather than any part of the executive branch.

What it's used for

RIS shows 2 IPv4 prefixes / 1,280 addresses (198.246.136.0/22 plus a more-specific 198.246.135.0/24), no IPv6, and 2 observed neighbours. Small, stable, and dual-upstream: exactly what a legislative-branch service network needs. The public workload here is the Assembly's own web and lookup systems — the sites citizens and lobbyists hit to read bills, follow committee calendars and pull legislative history — plus the internal systems of the legislature's staff.

Notable

The reverse DNS settles the identification outright: 198.246.135.133 resolves to leg133.state.va.us. The leg prefix under the Commonwealth's state.va.us domain is the legislature's own naming, and it confirms that the space carries Virginia legislative infrastructure and not some unrelated tenant. That is a rare case where a single PTR does real identification work.

Interesting

The two-neighbour count is the honest measure of what this AS is. It has just enough BGP presence to survive the loss of one circuit during a session — when the Assembly's systems are least able to tolerate an outage — and no more. It carries no traffic for anyone else, and it does not need to.
