AS21692: the Secretaria de la Funcion Publica network

AS21692 is an internet Autonomous System operated by Secretaria de la Funcion Publica (Mexico). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS21692?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS21692 was assigned to Secretaria de la Funcion Publica by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS21692 currently announces 2 IPv4 block(s), totaling 512 addresses (512 in all), registered in Mexico. Services from Secretaria de la Funcion Publica are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS21692 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS21692. That means the other end sits on the Secretaria de la Funcion Publica network (Mexico). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
