AS37045 — tznic

AS37045 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 512 addresses and 2 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The AS handle tznic is held by Tanzania Network Information Centre (tzNIC).

What it's used for

• The address space is registered under the netname ORG-TNIC1-AFRINIC, indicating it is the national registry's own operational estate rather than customer-facing access infrastructure.
• The AS announces 512 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 2 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining only 1 observed neighbour. This low neighbour count relative to the address inventory suggests a limited peering footprint typical of a national registry or infrastructure provider rather than a large transit carrier.

Notable

• The RDAP registrants for both announced IPv4 prefixes (102.165.191.0/24 and 196.216.162.0/24) match the AS holder, confirming direct ownership of the address space.
• TzNIC is a non-profit Public Private Partnership established by the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) and the Tanzania Internet Service Providers Association (TISPA) to manage the .tz domain and national internet resources.
• The inventory consists of two distinct /24 IPv4 blocks and two /48 IPv6 prefixes, representing a modest, self-contained address allocation for the registry's internal operations.
