AS7184: the Universidad Veracruzana network

AS7184 is an internet Autonomous System operated by Universidad Veracruzana (Mexico). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS7184?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS7184 was assigned to Universidad Veracruzana by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS7184 currently announces 27 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 45.1 thousand addresses (45,056 in all), registered in Mexico. Services from Universidad Veracruzana are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS7184 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS7184. That means the other end sits on the Universidad Veracruzana network (Mexico). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
