Summary

Telecommunication Infrastructure Company

Iran (Islamic Republic of) · AI-generated

transit infrastructure government iran

TIC-AS is operated by Telecommunication Infrastructure Company.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries infrastructure and enterprise traffic, with netnames IR-TIC-20100629 and IR-TIC-20121127 registered to the Telecommunication Infrastructure Company, and IR-DCC-20101018 registered to Iran Information Technology Company PJSC.
  • The AS announces 3840 IPv4 addresses across 6 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 12 observed neighbours; this ratio of moderate address space to a significant number of peers indicates a transit or backbone role rather than a pure access network.
  • As the government-owned entity responsible for the development, management, and maintenance of Iran's telecommunication network infrastructure, the traffic consists of backbone transit, interconnection, and infrastructure backhaul.

Notable

  • Registrants are mixed, with the largest prefixes registered to both Telecommunication Infrastructure Company and Iran Information Technology Company PJSC, suggesting shared or leased address space within the Iranian telecom sector.
  • The address inventory is fragmented across multiple /22 and /24 blocks, including space in the 2.189.0.0/16 range, which is consistent with a national infrastructure provider managing diverse network segments.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-18, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
