You need to ask, not "what is", but "who is". More specifically:

$ whois 172.21.48.161
[...]
NetRange:       172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
CIDR:           172.16.0.0/12
OriginAS:
NetName:        PRIVATE-ADDRESS-BBLK-RFC1918-IANA-RESERVED
NetHandle:      NET-172-16-0-0-1
Parent:         NET-172-0-0-0-0
NetType:        IANA Special Use
[...]

In other words, it's someone else on your network.
