AS1124: the UVA-NL Universiteit van Amsterdam network

AS1124 is an internet Autonomous System operated by UVA-NL Universiteit van Amsterdam (EU). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS1124?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS1124 was assigned to UVA-NL Universiteit van Amsterdam by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS1124 currently announces 3 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 196.6 thousand addresses (196,608 in all), registered in EU. Services from UVA-NL Universiteit van Amsterdam are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS1124 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS1124. That means the other end sits on the UVA-NL Universiteit van Amsterdam network (EU). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
