AS55720: the GIGABIT-MY Gigabit Hosting Sdn Bhd network

AS55720 is an internet Autonomous System operated by GIGABIT-MY Gigabit Hosting Sdn Bhd (Malaysia). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS55720?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS55720 was assigned to GIGABIT-MY Gigabit Hosting Sdn Bhd by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS55720 currently announces 108 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 70.1 thousand addresses (70,144 in all), registered in Malaysia. Services from GIGABIT-MY Gigabit Hosting Sdn Bhd are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS55720 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS55720. That means the other end sits on the GIGABIT-MY Gigabit Hosting Sdn Bhd network (Malaysia). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
