AS4782: the GSNET Data Communication Business Group network

AS4782 is an internet Autonomous System operated by GSNET Data Communication Business Group (Taiwan). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS4782?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS4782 was assigned to GSNET Data Communication Business Group by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS4782 currently announces 13 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 414.2 thousand addresses (414,208 in all), registered in Taiwan. Services from GSNET Data Communication Business Group are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS4782 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS4782. That means the other end sits on the GSNET Data Communication Business Group network (Taiwan). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
