AS17754: the EXCELL-AS Excellmedia network

AS17754 is an internet Autonomous System operated by EXCELL-AS Excellmedia (India). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS17754?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS17754 was assigned to EXCELL-AS Excellmedia by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS17754 currently announces 13 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 45.6 thousand addresses (45,568 in all), registered in India. Services from EXCELL-AS Excellmedia are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS17754 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS17754. That means the other end sits on the EXCELL-AS Excellmedia network (India). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
