AS9159: the Credit Agricole network

AS9159 is an internet Autonomous System operated by Credit Agricole (France). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS9159?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS9159 was assigned to Credit Agricole by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS9159 currently announces 6 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 262.7 thousand addresses (262,656 in all), registered in France. Services from Credit Agricole are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS9159 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS9159. That means the other end sits on the Credit Agricole network (France). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
