AS32478: the ITVOCAL network

AS32478 is an internet Autonomous System operated by ITVOCAL (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 AS32478?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS32478 was assigned to ITVOCAL by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS32478 currently announces 1 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 1 thousand addresses (1,024 in all), registered in the United States. Services from ITVOCAL are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS32478 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS32478. That means the other end sits on the ITVOCAL network (the United States). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
