AS11140 BEHRPROCESS

BEHRPROCESS is the corporate AS of Behr Process, the architectural paint and coatings maker headquartered at 3400 W. Segerstrom Ave, Santa Ana, California. The ARIN record's only contact is ITNetworkAdminTeam@behr.com — an in-house IT team, not a service provider's NOC, which is itself the clearest statement of what this AS is for.

What it's used for

A single enterprise's own internet edge. RIS observes 2 IPv4 prefixes totalling 1,024 addresses, no IPv6, and 3 observed BGP neighbours. A /22 plus a more-specific /24 out of it, announced to a small handful of upstreams, is the textbook shape of a company that runs BGP purely so it can multihome its own corporate connectivity: keep the same public addresses across two or three carriers and fail over between them. There is nothing here being sold, hosted, or resold to anyone else.

Notable

Both announced prefixes, 205.247.24.0/22 and 205.247.26.0/24, are registered to SPRINTLINK rather than to Behr. That is not a red flag — it is provider-assigned space, historically allocated to a customer out of Sprint's blocks and still carrying Sprint's registration while Behr announces it from its own AS. A network announcing space registered to unrelated third parties across multiple registries is the address-leasing tell; announcing space registered to your own upstream carrier is just ordinary 1990s-2000s enterprise addressing.

Interesting

Reverse DNS returned nothing on the four addresses sampled, which is a sample and supports no conclusion either way about the zone. Worth flagging separately: ARIN marks the technical POC as unvalidated, having had no response from it since 2019 — a small housekeeping signal that the record is not being actively maintained, though the space is clearly still routed.
