AS9658: the ETPI-IDS-AS-AP Eastern Telecoms Phils., Inc. network

AS9658 is an internet Autonomous System operated by ETPI-IDS-AS-AP Eastern Telecoms Phils., Inc. (the Philippines). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS9658?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS9658 was assigned to ETPI-IDS-AS-AP Eastern Telecoms Phils., Inc. by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS9658 currently announces 106 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 282.1 thousand addresses (282,112 in all), registered in the Philippines. Services from ETPI-IDS-AS-AP Eastern Telecoms Phils., Inc. are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS9658 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS9658. That means the other end sits on the ETPI-IDS-AS-AP Eastern Telecoms Phils., Inc. network (the Philippines). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
