AS12840 TICARETNET Istanbul, Turkey
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Ticaretnet (ATP Yazılım ve Teknoloji)
isp hosting business
Nine prefixes carved from one range, eight of them sharing a single 1999 netname, with router loopbacks answering in DNS.
What it's used for
- A Turkish internet and hosting provider in Istanbul. 8,192 addresses across nine IPv4 prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- Every block sits in
212.109: a /20, two /22s, two /23s and four /24s. - Eight of them carry the same netname,
TR-TICARETNET-991129;212.109.98.0/24is the odd one out atTICARETNET. - Twelve of eighteen sampled addresses returned names, all of the form
lo0.tho116.ticaretnet.comandlo254.tho123.ticaretnet.com. - First observed in the routing archive at the earliest date the archive holds.
Interesting
lo0andlo254are loopback interfaces: the addresses a router answers to regardless of which physical link is up. Naming them in public DNS is a working convention rather than an oversight, because an operator tracing a path wants to read a router's name instead of an address. It also means the reverse zone is a partial map of the network's own equipment.991129is a two-digit year, November 1999. Two other holders in this range carry two-digit November 1999 netnames, in Poland, and one in Italy is dated that December. The registry's format change can be dated from the paperwork of networks that had nothing else in common.- One /20 announced alongside eight smaller blocks from inside the same range is deaggregation: the space could be advertised as a couple of routes, and instead it is advertised as nine. Usually that means different parts are handled differently, and the routing table carries the cost of the distinction.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-13, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
