AS9656: the T-SYSTEMS-SG T-SYSTEMS SINGAPORE PTE LTD network

AS9656 is an internet Autonomous System operated by T-SYSTEMS-SG T-SYSTEMS SINGAPORE PTE LTD (Singapore). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS9656?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS9656 was assigned to T-SYSTEMS-SG T-SYSTEMS SINGAPORE PTE LTD by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS9656 currently announces 2 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 12.3 thousand addresses (12,288 in all), registered in Singapore. Services from T-SYSTEMS-SG T-SYSTEMS SINGAPORE PTE LTD are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS9656 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS9656. That means the other end sits on the T-SYSTEMS-SG T-SYSTEMS SINGAPORE PTE LTD network (Singapore). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
