AS18895: the NUSTREAM-COMMUNICATIONS network

AS18895 is an internet Autonomous System operated by NUSTREAM-COMMUNICATIONS (PR). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS18895?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS18895 was assigned to NUSTREAM-COMMUNICATIONS by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS18895 currently announces 13 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 13.6 thousand addresses (13,568 in all), registered in PR. Services from NUSTREAM-COMMUNICATIONS are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS18895 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS18895. That means the other end sits on the NUSTREAM-COMMUNICATIONS network (PR). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
