AS215182 currently announces 6 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 7.7 thousand addresses (7,680 in all), registered in Russia. Services from AVELACOM-BUSINESS are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS215182 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS215182. That means the other end sits on the AVELACOM-BUSINESS network (Russia). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
