AS203217: the HORIZON-SCOPE-IQ HORIZON-SCOPE- network

AS203217 is an internet Autonomous System operated by HORIZON-SCOPE-IQ HORIZON-SCOPE- (Iraq). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS203217?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS203217 was assigned to HORIZON-SCOPE-IQ HORIZON-SCOPE- by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS203217 currently announces 24 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 15.6 thousand addresses (15,616 in all), registered in Iraq. Services from HORIZON-SCOPE-IQ HORIZON-SCOPE- are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS203217 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS203217. That means the other end sits on the HORIZON-SCOPE-IQ HORIZON-SCOPE- network (Iraq). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
