AS50920: the KABEL-BRAUNAU network

AS50920 is an internet Autonomous System operated by KABEL-BRAUNAU (Austria). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS50920?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS50920 was assigned to KABEL-BRAUNAU by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS50920 currently announces 11 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 14.6 thousand addresses (14,592 in all), registered in Austria. Services from KABEL-BRAUNAU are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS50920 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS50920. That means the other end sits on the KABEL-BRAUNAU network (Austria). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
