The number AS63956 was assigned to INT-5GN-AS-AP 5G NETWORK OPERATIONS PTY LTD by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

What it means to see AS63956 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS63956. That means the other end sits on the INT-5GN-AS-AP 5G NETWORK OPERATIONS PTY LTD network (Australia). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
