AS Name (Autonomous System Name) is the descriptive name of a network or organization that manages an Autonomous System (AS) identified by an AS Number (ASN). Understanding your AS Name helps you check your IP info, including my IP address, IPv4 address, and IPv6 networks. This information is essential for network analysis, security, and troubleshooting.

Example of AS Name

• AS Number: AS141433 → AS Name: Netcom Internet Service
• IPv6 Example: AS3209 → AS Name: GlobalNet ISP
• Check my network IP to see which AS Name it belongs to.
• Using IP lookup tools, you can find My IP location along with the associated AS Name.

Importance of AS Name

• Identifies the organization or ISP behind any IP address.
• Helps in understanding IPv4 and IPv6 network structure.
• Crucial for BGP routing, cybersecurity, and network analysis.
• Displayed in IP lookup tools to verify My IP location and network origin.
• Assists in troubleshooting connectivity and identifying potential network issues.

How to Find My AS Name

Finding your AS Name is simple using IP lookup services. Steps:

• Check my IP using an IP lookup tool to see the AS Number and AS Name.
• Verify my IPv4 and my IPv6 addresses to identify the Autonomous System they belong to.
• Use the AS Name to understand which ISP or organization manages your network.
• Knowing IP info including AS Name can help secure your network and troubleshoot issues effectively.
