The number AS17585 was assigned to PPS-AS-KR Public Procurement Service The Republic of Korea by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

What it means to see AS17585 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS17585. That means the other end sits on the PPS-AS-KR Public Procurement Service The Republic of Korea network (South Korea). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
