AS7629: the EPLDT-AS-AP 5F L.V. Locsin Bldg network

AS7629 is an internet Autonomous System operated by EPLDT-AS-AP 5F L.V. Locsin Bldg (the Philippines). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS7629?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS7629 was assigned to EPLDT-AS-AP 5F L.V. Locsin Bldg by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS7629 currently announces 17 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 173.6 thousand addresses (173,568 in all), registered in the Philippines. Services from EPLDT-AS-AP 5F L.V. Locsin Bldg are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS7629 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS7629. That means the other end sits on the EPLDT-AS-AP 5F L.V. Locsin Bldg network (the Philippines). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
