AS211416: the TAWASUL2021 network

AS211416 is an internet Autonomous System operated by TAWASUL2021 (the United Arab Emirates). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS211416?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS211416 was assigned to TAWASUL2021 by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS211416 currently announces 1 IPv4 block(s), totaling 256 addresses (256 in all), registered in the United Arab Emirates. Services from TAWASUL2021 are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS211416 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS211416. That means the other end sits on the TAWASUL2021 network (the United Arab Emirates). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
