Autonomous systems

Holder names and prefix counts come from the RIPE NCC's RIPEstat Data API, fetched on 2026-09-06. Role and confidence come from the evidence linked in each row; "confirmed" means a PeeringDB or RIPEstat record, or the operator's own site, names the operator.

Mobile network codes

The MCC identifies the country and the MNC identifies the operator inside it. Together they appear in the IMSI of every SIM on the network and in device diagnostics; they are how a handset knows which network it is on.

About Vodafone

Vodafone in Germany is run by Vodafone GmbH under Vodafone Group. The registry documents AS3209, the VODANET network, as the ASN carrying its mobile traffic, with eight further Vodafone ASNs recorded in fixed, enterprise or undocumented roles. Its recorded MCC/MNC codes are 262 02, 04, 09, 42 and 43.

The registry records nine ASNs for Vodafone in Germany. AS3209, held under the VODANET name, is the one documented as mobile, and at the last probe it announced 311 IPv4 prefixes against 18 in IPv6. AS201917, registered to Vodafone Group Services GmbH, announced 33 IPv4 prefixes and none in IPv6. The remaining seven were registered but announcing nothing, among them the legacy cable networks AS20825, AS29562 and AS31334. PeeringDB carries the last of those as Vodafone Kabel Deutschland GmbH with the type Cable/DSL/ISP.

An address whose origin ASN is AS3209 is routed by Vodafone in Germany on the ASN the registry documents as mobile. That is the strongest signal the registry holds, and it still does not identify a single address as a handset connection, because the prefixes are not broken down by access type. The other eight ASNs are recorded as fixed, enterprise or with no documented role. An address originating from one of those could be mobile, fixed or enterprise, and the ASN alone does not settle it.

Research note. AS3209 (PeeringDB: 'Vodafone Germany', aka Vodanet, website vodafone.de; RIPEstat: announced) is the only Vodafone GmbH ASN currently announced per RIPEstat and carries the German network. AS3211, 6751, 15709, 20825, 29562, 31334, 13083, 21044, 34419, 201829, 203642 are registered but not announced per RIPEstat. Kabel Deutschland / Unitymedia / KabelBW ASNs are the legacy cable (fixed) networks. Vodafone Group Services GmbH ASNs (13083, 21044, 34419, 201829, 201917, 203642) are group/data-centre networks, not the consumer mobile network. BNetzA list (Stand 03.08.2026) assigns 262 02, 04, 09, 42, 43 to Vodafone GmbH; 43 was not in the candidate rows but is on the regulator list.

Check whether an IP belongs to Vodafone

Look up the origin ASN of the address and compare it with the table above. RIPEstat answers for any address, and the RADB whois mirror lists the routes registered under an ASN.

Questions

What is Vodafone Germany's ASN?
AS3209, the VODANET network held by Vodafone GmbH, is the ASN the registry documents as carrying Vodafone's German mobile network. Eight further ASNs are registered to Vodafone entities in Germany, including the legacy cable networks AS20825 and AS31334, and of those only AS201917 was announcing prefixes at the last probe.
What is the MCC/MNC of Vodafone Germany?
The registry records five network codes under mobile country code 262, which are 02, 04, 09, 42 and 43. All five are assigned to Vodafone GmbH on the German regulator's IMSI block allocation list, and the registry records no further codes for the operator.
Is an IP from AS3209 a mobile IP?
AS3209 is the Vodafone ASN recorded as carrying mobile traffic in Germany, so an address announced from it is routed by Vodafone. The registry does not separate mobile from other access types inside that ASN, so the origin ASN alone does not confirm that a given address is a mobile connection.

Where Vodafone meets other networks

PeeringDB records Vodafone as a participant at internet exchanges in 3 cities. Each city page lists the exchanges there and the other networks present.

Sources

ASN and prefix data describe how the operator's networks are registered and announced. They do not identify an individual subscriber or where a device is, since carriers route traffic from many areas through shared gateways.
