AS38201: the KALIANET-PUBLIC-AS-AP Tonga Communications Internet Network network

AS38201 is an internet Autonomous System operated by KALIANET-PUBLIC-AS-AP Tonga Communications Internet Network (TO). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS38201?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS38201 was assigned to KALIANET-PUBLIC-AS-AP Tonga Communications Internet Network by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS38201 currently announces 7 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 4.6 thousand addresses (4,608 in all), registered in TO. Services from KALIANET-PUBLIC-AS-AP Tonga Communications Internet Network are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS38201 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS38201. That means the other end sits on the KALIANET-PUBLIC-AS-AP Tonga Communications Internet Network network (TO). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
