AS53535 ARIN-PFS-ANYCAST
Unclassified ARIN Non-Profit
Summary
ARIN Operations
registry anycast infrastructure nonprofit
ARIN-PFS-ANYCAST is operated by ARIN Operations.
What it's used for
- The address space carries registry infrastructure, specifically anycast services and peering facilities, as indicated by the netnames
ARIN-ANYCASTandARIN-PFS-TOR. - The AS announces 1024 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes and 3 IPv6 prefixes, with only 3 observed routing neighbours, indicating a specialized internal or service network rather than a transit or access provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of registry services, including anycast endpoints for ARIN's public services and peering exchange infrastructure.
Notable
- Registrants for all announced prefixes are listed as ARIN Operations, consistent with the AS holder.
- The address inventory is small and finely subdivided, reflecting the specific needs of a registry's operational infrastructure rather than a broad subscriber base.

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: 448 networks and 1,851 prefixes, as published 2026-10-29. 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.
