Summary
US Department of Defense
government legacy military
An early US Department of Defense allocation (DNIC-AS-01959), registered through the DoD Network Information Center (DNIC), which holds many federal ASNs.
What it's used for
- US government / military network operations.
Notable
- A government / DoD network, not a commercial ISP or host. The DNIC handle resolves generically to the Department of Defense rather than a specific base or unit.
- The low AS number reflects an early-internet allocation from the DoD's block of sequentially handed-out numbers.
