AS2715: the Fundacao Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo a Pesquisa network

AS2715 is an internet Autonomous System operated by Fundacao Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo a Pesquisa (Brazil). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS2715?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS2715 was assigned to Fundacao Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo a Pesquisa by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS2715 currently announces 35 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 330.2 thousand addresses (330,240 in all), registered in Brazil. Services from Fundacao Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo a Pesquisa are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS2715 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS2715. That means the other end sits on the Fundacao Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo a Pesquisa network (Brazil). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
