AS9597 KDDI Web Communications Inc.ASN lookup: IP ranges, prefixes and network type
AS9597 is the autonomous system number (ASN) announced by KDDI Web Communications Inc.. It announces 21 prefixes, 276,736 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.
AS9597 at a glance
| Organisation | KDDI Web Communications Inc. |
|---|---|
| Autonomous system | AS9597 |
| Network type | Mobile carrier |
| IPv4 prefixes | 20 |
| IPv6 prefixes | 1 |
| IPv4 addresses | 276,736Summed across every announced prefix. IPv6 is not counted; the numbers are meaningless at that scale. |
| In known VPN ranges | 0 of 20 prefixes |
| In known datacenter ranges | 0 of 20 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.

What AS9597 means for detection
Addresses on KDDI Web Communications Inc. are mobile: phones and tablets behind carrier NAT. Our engine classifies them residential, with one caveat worth knowing. Carrier NAT puts thousands of subscribers behind one address, so an IP-level block here reaches far more people than intended, and rate limits keyed on the address will punish an entire city. Geolocation is coarse for the same reason.
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.
