Summary
Apple Inc.
corporate cloud cdn
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
17.0.0.0/8block — one of the few single companies to own a full historic Class A allocation (16.7M addresses).
