AS22576: the DATAPIPE-ASN2 network

AS22576 is an internet Autonomous System operated by DATAPIPE-ASN2 (the United States). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS22576?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS22576 was assigned to DATAPIPE-ASN2 by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS22576 currently announces 10 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 33.3 thousand addresses (33,279 in all), registered in the United States. Services from DATAPIPE-ASN2 are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS22576 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS22576. That means the other end sits on the DATAPIPE-ASN2 network (the United States). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
