AS8485 TEST-ASN2
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
TransTeleCom (test AS)
legacy
TEST-ASN2 is registered to JSC TransTeleCom (TTK), the Russian long-haul carrier built along the national railway network. As the handle says, it is a test AS rather than a production network.
What it's used for
- Announcing a single IPv6
/48and nothing else. It carries zero IPv4 space, has one BGP neighbour, and serves no customers. - The routing policy in the RIPE object points only at another TransTeleCom AS, and the registered contacts are the carrier's IPv6 team — consistent with an IPv6 test and lab registration.
Notable
- This AS should not be classified or geolocated as if it were TTK's backbone. It carries none of the carrier's traffic and none of its address space.
- Attributing a parent's kind to an ancillary AS like this one is a common mistake: TTK's real network sits behind other AS numbers.
Interesting
- The RIPE object's
created:field is the1970-01-01placeholder used for records that predate the database, so the number itself is genuinely old even though its current use is a test registration.

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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
