AS17564: the GITN-PCN-AS-AP GITN M Sdn. Bhd. network

AS17564 is an internet Autonomous System operated by GITN-PCN-AS-AP GITN M Sdn. Bhd. (Malaysia). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS17564?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS17564 was assigned to GITN-PCN-AS-AP GITN M Sdn. Bhd. by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS17564 currently announces 7 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 5.6 thousand addresses (5,632 in all), registered in Malaysia. Services from GITN-PCN-AS-AP GITN M Sdn. Bhd. are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS17564 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS17564. That means the other end sits on the GITN-PCN-AS-AP GITN M Sdn. Bhd. network (Malaysia). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
