ASN
Autonomous System Number: a number that identifies a collection of networks managed by a single organization on the Internet. The ownership of an ASN (ISP or cloud provider) can be used to determine whether an IP is a residential IP or a data-center IP.

ASN is a key technical concept for understanding proxy IP types, and each ASN represents a collection of networks managed by a single organization.
When choosing a proxy, three indicators need attention: whether the IP's ASN belongs to a mainstream local ISP, whether the IP is dedicated (non-shared), and whether the IP's geographic location matches the registration region.
Every IP address belongs to an autonomous system (ASN), and the ASN's registration information indicates whether the network segment belongs to a cloud provider or IDC hosting organization such as AWS, Google Cloud, or Cloudflare.
Target websites can determine whether traffic originates from a datacenter rather than ordinary residential users by querying the ASN attribution of the requesting IP.
OONI measurement data has certain sensitive fields removed before upload, but local network information such as ASN (Autonomous System Number) is still included in the public dataset.
An ASN (Autonomous System Number) is the basic organizational unit in the internet routing architecture, with each ASN representing a collection of IP addresses managed by a single organization.
