AS34697: the EMERSON-EMA-AS network

AS34697 is an internet Autonomous System operated by EMERSON-EMA-AS (the United Kingdom). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS34697?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS34697 was assigned to EMERSON-EMA-AS by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS34697 currently announces 2 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 4.1 thousand addresses (4,096 in all), registered in the United Kingdom. Services from EMERSON-EMA-AS are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS34697 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS34697. That means the other end sits on the EMERSON-EMA-AS network (the United Kingdom). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
