What it means to see AS17073 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS17073. That means the other end sits on the ALLEGISGROUP7312 network (the United States). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
