AS46160: the SKYTAP-TUK network

AS46160 is an internet Autonomous System operated by SKYTAP-TUK (the United States). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS46160?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS46160 was assigned to SKYTAP-TUK by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS46160 currently announces 10 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 8.2 thousand addresses (8,192 in all), registered in the United States. Services from SKYTAP-TUK are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS46160 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS46160. That means the other end sits on the SKYTAP-TUK network (the United States). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
