AS6193: the Corporacion La Prensa S.A. network

AS6193 is an internet Autonomous System operated by Corporacion La Prensa S.A. (Panama). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS6193?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS6193 was assigned to Corporacion La Prensa S.A. by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS6193 currently announces 1 IPv4 block(s), totaling 256 addresses (256 in all), registered in Panama. Services from Corporacion La Prensa S.A. are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS6193 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS6193. That means the other end sits on the Corporacion La Prensa S.A. network (Panama). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
