AS9146: the BIHNET BIHNET Autonomus System network

AS9146 is an internet Autonomous System operated by BIHNET BIHNET Autonomus System (BA). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS9146?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS9146 was assigned to BIHNET BIHNET Autonomus System by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS9146 currently announces 20 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 172.3 thousand addresses (172,288 in all), registered in BA. Services from BIHNET BIHNET Autonomus System are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS9146 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS9146. That means the other end sits on the BIHNET BIHNET Autonomus System network (BA). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
