AS24462: the HKJC-AS-HK-AP Network Management Section network

AS24462 is an internet Autonomous System operated by HKJC-AS-HK-AP Network Management Section (Hong Kong). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS24462?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS24462 was assigned to HKJC-AS-HK-AP Network Management Section by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS24462 currently announces 15 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 7.2 thousand addresses (7,168 in all), registered in Hong Kong. Services from HKJC-AS-HK-AP Network Management Section are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS24462 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS24462. That means the other end sits on the HKJC-AS-HK-AP Network Management Section network (Hong Kong). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
