Summary
Google LLC
cloud cdn search video
Google's primary Autonomous System, carrying traffic for Search, Gmail, YouTube, Android, and much of the consumer Google product surface.
What it's used for
- Serving Google's own web properties and APIs worldwide.
- Google Global Cache (GGC) nodes and edge caching for YouTube and other heavy media.
- Note that Google Cloud Platform customer workloads largely announce from a separate ASN, AS396982 (Google Cloud), rather than this one.
Notable
8.8.8.0/24and8.8.4.0/24— the8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4public DNS resolvers — are announced by Google and among the most-queried IPs anywhere.- Google operates a global private backbone, so an IP here is often far from the user it is serving thanks to anycast and edge caching.
Interesting
- Google was an early operator of a fully IPv6-capable backbone and publishes its IPv6 adoption statistics publicly.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
