What is AS56900?
An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS56900 was assigned to WESTLINK by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.
Reach on the internet
AS56900 currently announces 2 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 2 thousand addresses (2,048 in all), registered in Finland. Services from WESTLINK are reached through these addresses.
What it means to see AS56900 on your network
When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS56900. That means the other end sits on the WESTLINK network (Finland). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
