AS7819: the GLOBAL-IP-NETWORKS network

AS7819 is an internet Autonomous System operated by GLOBAL-IP-NETWORKS (the United States). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS7819?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS7819 was assigned to GLOBAL-IP-NETWORKS by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS7819 currently announces 17 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 20 thousand addresses (19,968 in all), registered in the United States. Services from GLOBAL-IP-NETWORKS are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS7819 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS7819. That means the other end sits on the GLOBAL-IP-NETWORKS network (the United States). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
