Unclassified AFRINIC
Summary
Vodacom Tanzania
mobile telecom residential business
The AS handle VTL-ASN is held by Vodacom Tanzania Ltd.
What it's used for
- The address space is registered under the netname
ORG-VTL1-AFRINICwith the registrant listed as Vodacom Tanzania Ltd, indicating a unified corporate estate. - The AS announces 67,584 IPv4 addresses across 22 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 17 observed neighbours; this ratio of high address volume to moderate peering suggests a major access network serving end-users rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- All sampled prefixes in the RDAP data list Vodacom Tanzania Ltd as the registrant, which aligns perfectly with the AS holder and the registry name.
- Vodacom Tanzania is a subsidiary of the Vodacom Group, a major mobile network operator in Africa, and serves as the leading mobile operator and mobile financial services provider in Tanzania.
- The inventory consists primarily of /20 and /21 blocks within the 197.250.0.0/16 range, alongside smaller /22 allocations, reflecting a finely subdivided internal corporate estate.

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.
