AS41585: the ELEMENTMEDIA network

AS41585 is an internet Autonomous System operated by ELEMENTMEDIA (Germany). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS41585?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS41585 was assigned to ELEMENTMEDIA by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS41585 currently announces 5 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 34.6 thousand addresses (34,560 in all), registered in Germany. Services from ELEMENTMEDIA are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS41585 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS41585. That means the other end sits on the ELEMENTMEDIA network (Germany). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
