AS4822: the NATIONAL-LIBRARY-AU National Library of Australia network

AS4822 is an internet Autonomous System operated by NATIONAL-LIBRARY-AU National Library of Australia (Australia). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS4822?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS4822 was assigned to NATIONAL-LIBRARY-AU National Library of Australia by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS4822 currently announces 4 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 1.8 thousand addresses (1,792 in all), registered in Australia. Services from NATIONAL-LIBRARY-AU National Library of Australia are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS4822 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS4822. That means the other end sits on the NATIONAL-LIBRARY-AU National Library of Australia network (Australia). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
