AS212477: the ROYALE-AS network

AS212477 is an internet Autonomous System operated by ROYALE-AS (the Netherlands). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS212477?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS212477 was assigned to ROYALE-AS by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS212477 currently announces 115 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 51.7 thousand addresses (51,712 in all), registered in the Netherlands. Services from ROYALE-AS are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS212477 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS212477. That means the other end sits on the ROYALE-AS network (the Netherlands). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
