AS15897 at a glance
| Organisation | Vodafone Telekomunikasyon A.S. |
|---|---|
| Autonomous system | AS15897 |
| Network type | Mobile carrier |
| IPv4 prefixes | 24 |
| IPv6 prefixes | 1 |
| IPv4 addresses | 747,520Summed across every announced prefix. IPv6 is not counted; the numbers are meaningless at that scale. |
| In known VPN ranges | 0 of 24 prefixes |
| In known datacenter ranges | 2 of 24 prefixes |
The last two rows are a second opinion, counted against the X4BNet VPN and datacenter range lists rather than read off the operator name. A network with most of its prefixes in the VPN list is carrying anonymised traffic whatever it calls itself.

What AS15897 means for detection
Addresses on Vodafone Telekomunikasyon A.S. are mobile: phones and tablets behind carrier NAT. Our engine classifies them residential, with one caveat worth knowing. Carrier NAT puts thousands of subscribers behind one address, so an IP-level block here reaches far more people than intended, and rate limits keyed on the address will punish an entire city. Geolocation is coarse for the same reason.
The verdict for a single address is never settled by the ASN alone. It is the starting point, and IP Detection adds range membership, behaviour and history on top of it before it answers.
