AS17836: the IBKS-AS-KR IBK Securities network

AS17836 is an internet Autonomous System operated by IBKS-AS-KR IBK Securities (South Korea). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS17836?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS17836 was assigned to IBKS-AS-KR IBK Securities by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS17836 currently announces 1 IPv4 block(s), totaling 256 addresses (256 in all), registered in South Korea. Services from IBKS-AS-KR IBK Securities are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS17836 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS17836. That means the other end sits on the IBKS-AS-KR IBK Securities network (South Korea). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
