About this network

Autonomous System 7768 belongs to TEKNET (Teknet Veri Merkezi Hizmetleri A.Ş. / Nuh Ahmet Firat), a datacentre and hosting operator based in Antalya, Turkey. The AS number was transferred out of ARIN and into the RIPE region in January 2026, so its earlier ARIN-era holder has no bearing on what it carries today.

What it's used for

• Running TEKNET's Antalya datacentre: colocation, dedicated and virtual servers, cloud hosting and IP transit for customers in the Antalya region.
• Announcing around a dozen /24s — mostly RIPE space in 31.7.32.0/21 and 185.140.124.0/22 — plus a 2a0a:9f40::/29 IPv6 allocation.

Notable

• Do not read this AS from its old ARIN handle. The worklist name attached to AS7768 in older datasets refers to a previous, unrelated holder; the number was reissued through an inter-RIR transfer and the current organisation is Turkish. This is the difference between a low AS number and an old AS number.
• The RIPE record carries a full BGP community guide naming its upstreams — Superonline, Türk Telekom, NTT and RETN — which is the signature of a real, operating network with paying transit customers, not a paper AS.
• Reverse DNS lands on customer-branded static hostnames (a Turkish business domain on a static-… name), consistent with hosting and business connectivity rather than a consumer broadband pool.

Interesting

• The IPv6 allocation contains the babe:: and beef:: sub-prefixes — hex wordplay that is common among hosting operators and effectively never seen in corporate or government space.
