AS3128: the BRUWS-AS3128 network

AS3128 is an internet Autonomous System operated by BRUWS-AS3128 (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 AS3128?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS3128 was assigned to BRUWS-AS3128 by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS3128 currently announces 11 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 655.6 thousand addresses (655,616 in all), registered in the United States. Services from BRUWS-AS3128 are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS3128 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS3128. That means the other end sits on the BRUWS-AS3128 network (the United States). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
