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 Spain
The registry lists five ASNs for Vodafone Spain. AS12430, the one recorded as carrying mobile traffic, had 44 IPv4 prefixes against 3 IPv6 prefixes at the last probe, and PeeringDB names it Vodafone España under the Cable/DSL/ISP type. On the fixed side, AS6739, an ONO registration, announced 68 IPv4 prefixes against a single IPv6 prefix, and AS12357, Comunitel, announced 17 IPv4 prefixes and no IPv6, with a PeeringDB record under the name COMUNITEL. The other two ONO registrations, AS3273 and AS16338, are not announced.
An address whose origin ASN is one of these five is routed by Vodafone Spain. The mobile role on AS12430 has no operator document behind it, since nothing published separates the company's mobile customers from its fixed ones on that ASN, and PeeringDB files the network under a fixed-line type. An address there could be mobile, fixed or enterprise. Addresses from the ONO and Comunitel registrations sit on the fixed side of the business. The origin ASN alone does not identify a mobile connection.
Research note. Vodafone Spain was sold by Vodafone Group to Zegona Communications plc on 31 May 2024 (vodafone.com newsroom, LSE RNS); the Vodafone brand continues in Spain under a brand licence. AS12430 VODAFONE_ES: PeeringDB name 'Vodafone España', website vodafone.es, RIPE mnt-by AIRTELNET-MNT (Airtel = the original Vodafone Spain mobile licence holder); no operator page explicitly separates mobile from fixed, so the 'mobile' role is inferred from the AS being the main Vodafone España AS. AS12357 COMUNITEL (former fixed-line operator, PeeringDB record present) and AS6739/AS3273/AS16338 ONO (cable, 'Vodafone ONO AS' in RIPE whois) are fixed-network ASes; AS3273 and AS16338 are not announced per RIPEstat.
