AS2914 is NTT Communications' global IP backbone — one of the most important Tier-1 networks in Asia and globally. NTT's backbone spans over 195 countries and is a primary transit provider for much of Asia-Pacific internet traffic. NTT Communications is a subsidiary of NTT Group, Japan's largest telecommunications company.
Every time you visit a website, your IP address — and therefore your ISP (NTT Communications Corporation) — is visible to that site. NTT Communications Corporation as your ISP can see all unencrypted traffic passing through their network, including the domains you visit. This is standard practice for all ISPs and is typically used for network management, legal compliance, and in some cases targeted advertising.
If your device is assigned an IP in NTT Communications Corporation’s ranges, websites you visit will identify your connection as coming from NTT Communications Corporation. To prevent this, a VPN replaces your ISP-assigned IP with the VPN server’s IP, making your traffic appear to come from a different provider entirely.
AS2914 is registered with APNIC — the Regional Internet Registry responsible for IP allocations in the Asia Pacific region. The ASN is used to announce IP prefixes to the global BGP routing table, allowing other networks to route traffic to NTT Communications Corporation’s infrastructure.
NTT Communications Corporation peers with major transit providers and internet exchanges to ensure global reachability. BGP peering relationships determine how traffic flows between NTT Communications Corporation and the rest of the internet.
