About this network

ldschurch-as-ap is registered to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is one of several ASNs the church holds; the larger estate sits under AS19648, registered to the Corporation of the Presiding Bishop.

What it's used for

The church runs a genuinely large private network for a religious organisation: meetinghouse connectivity worldwide, family-history and genealogical services, a global education system, and the wireless estate it rebranded from LDSAccess to Liahona around 2020. This particular AS is a small piece of that — a single announced block, most plausibly a specific facility or service edge rather than the church's general infrastructure.

Notable

The kind is enterprise, and the routing is unambiguous. RIS sees exactly 1 IPv4 prefix — 198.60.76.0/24, 256 addresses — and 1 observed neighbour. One /24 behind one upstream cannot be a service provider of any kind; there is nothing to sell and nowhere to sell it. This is an organisation announcing its own provider-independent space. The 198.60.x range is Utah territory long associated with Salt Lake City networks, which fits the church's headquarters and is consistent with the holder.

Interesting

The handle is a trap worth naming. The -ap suffix conventionally marks an APNIC registration, yet the announced prefix is ARIN space in Utah. Handles are assigned once and then outlive whatever convention produced them — the suffix here tells you nothing reliable about the region, and it is a good example of why the handle is evidence in neither direction.
