AS59160 is an internet Autonomous System operated by IDNIC-BKKBN-AS-ID Badan Kependudukan dan Keluarga Berencana Nasional (Indonesia). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS59160?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS59160 was assigned to IDNIC-BKKBN-AS-ID Badan Kependudukan dan Keluarga Berencana Nasional by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

AS59160 currently announces 2 IPv4 block(s), totaling 512 addresses (512 in all), registered in Indonesia. Services from IDNIC-BKKBN-AS-ID Badan Kependudukan dan Keluarga Berencana Nasional are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS59160 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS59160. That means the other end sits on the IDNIC-BKKBN-AS-ID Badan Kependudukan dan Keluarga Berencana Nasional network (Indonesia). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
