VIL-AS-AP is the autonomous system for Vodafone Idea Ltd.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries mobile subscriber traffic, evidenced by netnames such as OpenInternetAccessAPN and VODAFONE-STATIC-Infrastructure alongside the standard VIL-IN designations.
  • The AS announces 679,168 IPv4 addresses across 193 prefixes and 339 IPv6 prefixes, a volume consistent with a major national mobile operator serving a large subscriber base.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of mobile voice, data, and multimedia services for consumer and business subscribers across India.

Notable

  • Registrants for the largest prefixes are consistently Vodafone Idea Ltd. (VIL) or VODAFONE ESSAR SPACETEL LIMITED, aligning with the AS holder.
  • Vodafone Idea was formed in August 2018 by the merger of Vodafone India and Idea Cellular, and rebranded as Vi in September 2020.
  • The inventory is dominated by /18 and /19 blocks in the 42.104.0.0/14 and 1.38.0.0/16 ranges, reflecting the combined estates of the two merged operators.

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: 448 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-10-29. 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.
