Summary
Tata Communications
backbone transit datacenter
TATACOMM-AS — Tata Communications (formerly VSNL), a major Indian telecom carrier running one of the world's larger Tier-1 backbones. It also operates global datacenter, colocation, and cloud-enablement services.
What it's used for
- International IP transit and connectivity, plus enterprise hosting and colocation out of Tata's global datacenters.
Notable
- Primarily a carrier/backbone AS — many addresses are transit or enterprise circuits rather than retail VPS.
- One of India's principal international gateways, a legacy of the state-owned VSNL that Tata acquired.
Interesting
- Tata's network famously carries a large share of intercontinental internet traffic via its extensive submarine-cable holdings.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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: 451 networks and 1,853 prefixes, as published 2026-11-04. 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.
