IP / ASN Lookup

Look up an IP's owning org, ASN and allocation via RDAP.

IP ASN Lookup checks, in real time, which Autonomous System (AS) an IPv4 address belongs to and which IP prefix (CIDR block) it is advertised under on the internet. It shows the ASN, the owning organization (holder) and the prefix at a glance, so you can quickly tell which ISP, cloud or hosting provider's network an address sits in.

Lookups are based on public routing data published by the RIPE NCC (RIPEstat), and results are briefly cached for speed. It is handy for tracing the origin of an IP in your server logs, identifying the source network of abusive traffic, or verifying that your own ranges are advertised under the correct ASN. For the IP's rough location, pair it with IP Geolocation; to find a domain's IP first, use Website IP Lookup.

What is an ASN?

An Autonomous System Number is a unique identifier assigned to a group of IP networks operated under a single routing policy (an autonomous system). ISPs, cloud providers and large enterprises each hold one or more ASNs and exchange routes with each other over BGP. Looking up an IP's ASN and holder tells you which organization's network the address belongs to.

What is an IP prefix (CIDR)?

A prefix is the contiguous block of IP addresses that an ASN advertises on the internet, written in CIDR notation such as 203.0.113.0/24. It shows which range a single input IP is actually routed as part of.

How to read the results

  • ASN: the autonomous system number advertising the IP
  • Holder: the organization registered for that ASN
  • Prefix: the advertised CIDR range containing the input IP

If more than one ASN is shown for a single IP, it may be advertised from multiple origins (MOAS) or reflect a difference in the data snapshot.

Frequently asked questions

Can I look up a domain?
No. This tool takes an IPv4 address. Resolve the domain to an IP first via a DNS lookup, then enter that IP.
No ASN is shown.
The IP may be in a range that is not currently advertised on the internet (private/reserved space) or has no route in the routing table.
Where does the data come from?
It uses public routing information published by the RIPE NCC (RIPEstat). Because it reflects live BGP observations, results can change over time.
Are results cached?
Yes. A repeated lookup for the same IP is cached on the server for about 120 seconds to respond faster and reduce load on the upstream source.
Is IPv6 supported?
Only IPv4 addresses are supported at the moment. IPv6 ASN lookup will be offered as a separate tool.
