AS20207: the Gigared S.A. network

AS20207 is an internet Autonomous System operated by Gigared S.A. (Argentina). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS20207?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS20207 was assigned to Gigared S.A. by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS20207 currently announces 47 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 108.8 thousand addresses (108,800 in all), registered in Argentina. Services from Gigared S.A. are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS20207 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS20207. That means the other end sits on the Gigared S.A. network (Argentina). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
