AS37006: the LiquidTelecommunicationRwanda network

AS37006 is an internet Autonomous System operated by LiquidTelecommunicationRwanda (RW). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS37006?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS37006 was assigned to LiquidTelecommunicationRwanda by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS37006 currently announces 17 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 23.6 thousand addresses (23,552 in all), registered in RW. Services from LiquidTelecommunicationRwanda are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS37006 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS37006. That means the other end sits on the LiquidTelecommunicationRwanda network (RW). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
