AS152212: the IRIS-AS-KR Korea Institute of Science and Technology Evaluation and Planning network

AS152212 is an internet Autonomous System operated by IRIS-AS-KR Korea Institute of Science and Technology Evaluation and Planning (South Korea). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS152212?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS152212 was assigned to IRIS-AS-KR Korea Institute of Science and Technology Evaluation and Planning by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS152212 currently announces 1 IPv4 block(s), totaling 512 addresses (512 in all), registered in South Korea. Services from IRIS-AS-KR Korea Institute of Science and Technology Evaluation and Planning are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS152212 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS152212. That means the other end sits on the IRIS-AS-KR Korea Institute of Science and Technology Evaluation and Planning network (South Korea). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
