AS17613: the KTEINFO-AS-KR KTE Information and Communications network

AS17613 is an internet Autonomous System operated by KTEINFO-AS-KR KTE Information and Communications (South Korea). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS17613?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS17613 was assigned to KTEINFO-AS-KR KTE Information and Communications by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS17613 currently announces 3 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 1.8 thousand addresses (1,792 in all), registered in South Korea. Services from KTEINFO-AS-KR KTE Information and Communications are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS17613 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS17613. That means the other end sits on the KTEINFO-AS-KR KTE Information and Communications network (South Korea). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
