Summary
Data Processing Iran (DPI)
enterprise hosting legacy
DPI belongs to DP Iran PLC — Data Processing Iran Co., a Tehran-based computer and IT services corporation on Nejatollahi Avenue. DPI sells hardware and software, runs a data centre, and offers infrastructure, hosting and consulting services.
What it's used for
The company's own infrastructure and its hosted/data-centre customers. A small footprint — roughly 3,000 IPv4 addresses across a handful of prefixes — consistent with an enterprise IT provider serving Iranian corporate clients rather than a mass-market ISP.
Notable
Mixed corporate and hosting space. Because DPI is both an end-user enterprise and a service provider, addresses under this AS can be either the company's own systems or customer workloads in its facility.
Interesting
DPI began in 1959 as IBM's operation in Iran and ran as an IBM subsidiary until 1981, when the business passed to the Iranian state; it was privatised and listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange in 2001. Few autonomous systems trace a lineage that far back into the pre-internet computing era.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-11-01, 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: 449 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-02. 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.
