Autonomous system
AS5734 TIENET
Unclassified APNIC
Summary
Telkom SA Ltd. (TIENET)
enterprise hosting legacy
A Telkom SA network registered under the handle TIENET, holding the operator's legacy 165.143.0.0/16 and 165.148.0.0/16 ranges.
What it's used for
- Telkom's own infrastructure address space: network management systems, hosting services, and the ranges historically registered as its corporate network and its enterprise IP-VPN product.
- Originates roughly a dozen prefixes and takes transit from Telkom's backbone, AS5713.
Notable
- Not an eyeball network. Unlike its parent backbone, which carries consumer DSL subscribers, this AS holds operator infrastructure and enterprise service space.
- Registry contacts point at
saix.net, the domain of Telkom's Internet division, which is a useful reminder that the different Telkom ASNs are administered as one estate even though they carry very different kinds of traffic.

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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-21. 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.
