AS16591 GOOGLE-FIBERASN lookup: IP ranges, prefixes and network type

AS16591 is the autonomous system number (ASN) announced by GOOGLE-FIBER. It announces 2,867 prefixes, 2,244,482 IPv4 addresses in total. Every address inside those ranges is routed by this operator, which is what makes the number the shortest answer to who runs a given address.

IPv4 addresses2,244,482Summed across every announced prefix. IPv6 is not counted; the numbers are meaningless at that scale.
In known VPN ranges0 of 1,410 prefixes
In known datacenter ranges0 of 1,410 prefixes

The last two rows are a second opinion, counted against the X4BNet VPN and datacenter range lists rather than read off the operator name. A network with most of its prefixes in the VPN list is carrying anonymised traffic whatever it calls itself.

Sample prefixes

The largest ranges GOOGLE-FIBER announces, biggest first. These are a sample and not the full routing table: 2,867 prefixes do not fit on a page, and the ones worth showing are the ones most traffic comes from.

What AS16591 means for detection

Addresses on GOOGLE-FIBER are infrastructure: servers, containers and managed services, not people at home. Our engine classifies them datacenter or hosting and never as VPN, because renting a machine is not anonymising traffic. That distinction matters for what you do next. A signup from here is worth a second look because automation lives on networks like this one, but blocking the range outright also blocks every monitoring service, payment webhook and corporate proxy that runs on it.

The verdict for a single address is never settled by the ASN alone. It is the starting point, and IP Detection adds range membership, behaviour and history on top of it before it answers.
