AS56828: the NORWEGIANHEALTHNETWORK network

AS56828 is an internet Autonomous System operated by NORWEGIANHEALTHNETWORK (Norway). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS56828?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS56828 was assigned to NORWEGIANHEALTHNETWORK by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS56828 currently announces 4 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 27.6 thousand addresses (27,648 in all), registered in Norway. Services from NORWEGIANHEALTHNETWORK are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS56828 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS56828. That means the other end sits on the NORWEGIANHEALTHNETWORK network (Norway). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
