AS47794: the ATHEEB-AS network

AS47794 is an internet Autonomous System operated by ATHEEB-AS (Saudi Arabia). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS47794?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS47794 was assigned to ATHEEB-AS by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS47794 currently announces 28 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 96.3 thousand addresses (96,256 in all), registered in Saudi Arabia. Services from ATHEEB-AS are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS47794 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS47794. That means the other end sits on the ATHEEB-AS network (Saudi Arabia). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
