Summary

Transworld Associates

Pakistan · AI-generated

transit isp backbone residential

TWA-AS-AP is operated by Transworld Associates (Pvt.) Ltd.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries a mix of corporate and residential traffic, evidenced by netnames TWA and EUREKANET-PK, and reverse DNS entries such as p133-static0.eurekanet.pk and mail.psca.gop.pk.
  • With 24,320 IPv4 addresses announced across 40 prefixes and 246 observed neighbours, the high neighbour count relative to address volume indicates a transit and backbone role rather than a pure access network.
  • As Pakistan’s sole private sector submarine fiber optic cable network provider, the traffic consists of international IP transit, MPLS, and residential triple-play services delivered through its subsidiary Transworld Home.

Notable

  • Registrants largely align with the announcer, with most prefixes registered to TRANS WORLD ASSOCIATES (PVT) LIMITED under the TWA netname, while the 103.236.132.0/22 block is registered to Eureka Net Pvt Ltd.
  • Transworld Enterprise Services (TES) Pvt Ltd was incorporated in 2011 as a wholly owned subsidiary and launched in 2017 as Transworld Home, a residential triple-play service.
  • The inventory includes a single IPv6 prefix, 2404:d400::/32, alongside a fragmented IPv4 allocation spanning multiple /21, /22, and /24 blocks.

Reputation

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.
