AS26127: the FRONTIERLABRESEARCH network

AS26127 is an internet Autonomous System operated by FRONTIERLABRESEARCH (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 AS26127?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS26127 was assigned to FRONTIERLABRESEARCH by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS26127 currently announces 8 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 2.3 thousand addresses (2,304 in all), registered in the United States. Services from FRONTIERLABRESEARCH are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS26127 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS26127. That means the other end sits on the FRONTIERLABRESEARCH network (the United States). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
