AS10176: the DJE-AS-KR Daejon Metropolitan Office of Education network

AS10176 is an internet Autonomous System operated by DJE-AS-KR Daejon Metropolitan Office of Education (South Korea). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS10176?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS10176 was assigned to DJE-AS-KR Daejon Metropolitan Office of Education by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS10176 currently announces 13 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 27.6 thousand addresses (27,648 in all), registered in South Korea. Services from DJE-AS-KR Daejon Metropolitan Office of Education are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS10176 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS10176. That means the other end sits on the DJE-AS-KR Daejon Metropolitan Office of Education network (South Korea). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
