AS58291: the COLOCENTER network

AS58291 is an internet Autonomous System operated by COLOCENTER (the Netherlands). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS58291?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS58291 was assigned to COLOCENTER by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS58291 currently announces 11 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 7.7 thousand addresses (7,680 in all), registered in the Netherlands. Services from COLOCENTER are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS58291 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS58291. That means the other end sits on the COLOCENTER network (the Netherlands). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
