About this network

Apple's Autonomous System, carrying iCloud, the App Store, iMessage, Apple Music, software updates, and Apple's corporate traffic.

What it's used for

• Serving Apple's first-party services and device software updates.
• Backing iCloud and related account/sync endpoints (some of which also ride on third-party clouds behind the scenes).

Notable

• Apple runs its own CDN for software updates and media, reducing dependence on third-party CDNs for its largest download events.
• iCloud Private Relay egress uses partner networks rather than exiting solely from this ASN, so relay traffic may appear under other operators.

Interesting

• Apple holds the entire legacy 17.0.0.0/8 block — one of the few single companies to own a full historic Class A allocation (16.7M addresses).
