Autonomous system
AS40793 LINKEDIN
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
business corporate social-network
The AS handle LINKEDIN is operated by LinkedIn Corporation.
What it's used for
- The address space carries corporate infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
108-174-6-128.fwd.linkedin.comand netnames registered to LinkedIn Corporation. - The AS announces 768 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, with only 1 observed neighbour, indicating a small, self-contained corporate estate rather than a transit or access network.
- Traffic from this AS consists of LinkedIn's internal web services, API endpoints, and corporate infrastructure supporting its professional networking platform.
Notable
- Registrants for both announced prefixes are LinkedIn Corporation, matching the AS holder.
- LinkedIn was acquired by Microsoft in 2016 and operates as a subsidiary within the Microsoft corporate structure.
- The inventory is finely subdivided into two small IPv4 blocks and one IPv6 /48, consistent with internal corporate segmentation.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
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: 447 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
