Summary
U.S. Department of the Interior
government federal usgs bureau-of-reclamation
AS22284-DOI-OPS is operated by the U.S. Department of the Interior.
What it's used for
- The address space carries internal networks for the U.S. Geological Survey and the Bureau of Reclamation, evidenced by netnames such as
GEORES,GEODEN,GEOATL,GEOMEN,NWRC-USGS,RECNET,MP-RECNET, andDO-RECNET. - The AS announces 1,086,208 IPv4 addresses across 249 prefixes and 16 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining only 6 observed neighbours; this high address-to-neighbour ratio indicates a large internal government estate rather than a transit or access provider.
Notable
- Registrants align with the announcer, specifically listing the Department of Interior United States Geological Survey and the U.S. Department of Interior Bureau of Reclamation for the majority of the inventory.
- The inventory is finely subdivided into numerous /16, /17, /18, and /19 blocks, reflecting site-by-site segmentation across the department's various bureaus and research centers.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-14, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,772 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
