Unclassified AFRINIC
Summary
Tanzania Ports Authority
government port infrastructure business
Tanzania-Ports-Authority is operated by Tanzania Ports Authority.
What it's used for
- The address space is registered to the Tanzania Ports Authority under the netname
ORG-TPA1-AFRINIC, indicating internal corporate use for port operations. - The AS announces a single IPv4 prefix, 196.43.221.0/24, comprising 256 addresses, with 0 IPv6 prefixes.
- With 2 observed neighbours, the low neighbour count relative to the address block suggests a small, self-contained network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- The RDAP registrant matches the AS holder, confirming the space is directly owned by the Tanzania Ports Authority.
- The inventory consists of a single /24 block, representing a compact and specific allocation for the organization's infrastructure.

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: 442 networks and 1,773 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.
