AS38136 is an internet Autonomous System operated by AKARI-NETWORKS-AS-AP Akari Networks (Hong Kong). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS38136?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS38136 was assigned to AKARI-NETWORKS-AS-AP Akari Networks by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS38136 currently announces 35 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 28.7 thousand addresses (28,672 in all), registered in Hong Kong. Services from AKARI-NETWORKS-AS-AP Akari Networks are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS38136 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS38136. That means the other end sits on the AKARI-NETWORKS-AS-AP Akari Networks network (Hong Kong). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
