AS23591: the LS-AS-KR LS ITC network

AS23591 is an internet Autonomous System operated by LS-AS-KR LS ITC (South Korea). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS23591?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS23591 was assigned to LS-AS-KR LS ITC by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS23591 currently announces 25 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 7.2 thousand addresses (7,168 in all), registered in South Korea. Services from LS-AS-KR LS ITC are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS23591 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS23591. That means the other end sits on the LS-AS-KR LS ITC network (South Korea). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
