AS48294: the CC-AS network

AS48294 is an internet Autonomous System operated by CC-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 AS48294?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS48294 was assigned to CC-AS by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS48294 currently announces 15 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 15.1 thousand addresses (15,104 in all), registered in the United Kingdom. Services from CC-AS are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS48294 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS48294. That means the other end sits on the CC-AS network (the United Kingdom). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
