AS2278 OrangeASN lookup: IP ranges, prefixes and network type
AS2278 is the autonomous system number (ASN) announced by Orange. It announces 4 prefixes, 98,560 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.
AS2278 at a glance
| Organisation | Orange |
|---|---|
| Autonomous system | AS2278 |
| Network type | Consumer ISP |
| IPv4 prefixes | 3 |
| IPv6 prefixes | 1 |
| IPv4 addresses | 98,560Summed across every announced prefix. IPv6 is not counted; the numbers are meaningless at that scale. |
| In known VPN ranges | 0 of 3 prefixes |
| In known datacenter ranges | 0 of 3 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 Orange announces, biggest first. These are a sample and not the full routing table: 4 prefixes do not fit on a page, and the ones worth showing are the ones most traffic comes from.
| Prefix | Family | Addresses |
|---|---|---|
| 161.106.0.0/16 | IPv4 | 65,536 |
| 161.105.128.0/17 | IPv4 | 32,768 |
| 192.144.77.0/24 | IPv4 | 256 |
| 2a01:cf00::/42 | IPv6 | Not counted |

The field is prefilled with 161.106.0.1, the first address of the largest range above. Change it for one from your own logs and you get the network, the operator and the verdict for that specific address.
What AS2278 means for detection
Addresses on Orange are consumer connections: households and small businesses on a fixed line. Our engine classifies them residential, which is the class most likely to be a real customer, and the class fraud tools are least likely to flag. The catch is the residential proxy. An address here can be rented out by whoever holds the connection, and when that happens the ownership data on this page still reads as clean. That is a behavioural signal, not an ownership one.
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.
