Unclassified APNIC
Summary
Eser Telekom / Yeditepe University
education telecom business
The AS handle is the word OTHER, and the address space belongs to a university.
What it's used for
- A Turkish network carrying university address space. 2,304 addresses in two IPv4 prefixes, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The AS handle is
OTHER; the registered holder is Eser Telekom Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. 195.49.216.0/21is registered asYEDITEPE-NET-TRto Yeditepe University.193.255.44.0/24carries the netnameYU-NET.- First observed in the routing archive in April 2001.
- Six sampled addresses were queried and none returned a name.
Interesting
OTHERis what a form says when nobody filled it in. Somewhere in the process of registering this autonomous system, a category field with an "other" option ended up in the name field, and it has been the network's public label ever since. Routing tools, looking-glass pages and whois clients all print it, because none of them have anything better to print.- Both blocks are registered to a university while a telecommunications company holds the AS. That is the ordinary arrangement where a campus buys connectivity and its provider announces the space: the addresses stay with the institution, the routing belongs to the carrier.
- One neighbour means a single path to the rest of the internet. For a university network that is a real constraint — everything the campus reaches depends on one adjacent operator, and the AS number exists mainly so the address space has an origin of its own.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 452 networks and 1,853 prefixes, as published 2026-11-05. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
