Autonomous system

Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Choice Hotels International, Inc.
enterprise legacy
CHOICE-HOTELS belongs to Choice Hotels International, one of the largest hotel franchisors in the world, whose brands include Comfort Inn, Quality Inn, Econo Lodge, Clarion and Cambria.
What it's used for
- Corporate and franchise-support networking for the hotel group: reservation and property-management back-ends, corporate offices, and the systems franchised properties connect to.
- The routed footprint is deliberately small, a pair of adjacent /24s out of
143.192.0.0/16. This is an enterprise AS, not a service-provider one.
Notable
- ARIN registered the ASN in December 1996, placing Choice Hotels among the early corporate adopters of BGP: at the time, a hospitality franchisor running its own autonomous system was unusual.
- The address space carries no public reverse DNS, which is typical of a network whose hosts are internal rather than customer-facing.

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 2026-10-31, 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: 447 networks and 1,843 prefixes, as published 2026-11-01. 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.
