Tbilisi · Georgia
PeeringDB records one exchange in Tbilisi, IXP.ge, with 14 participants, alongside four colocation facilities holding 15 network presences between them, the busiest being Cloud9 Dinamo Arena with seven. An address that geolocates to Tbilisi reflects where its operator registered the block, not where a device sits.
Internet exchanges in Tbilisi
An exchange is a shared switch where networks hand traffic to each other directly. Participant counts come from PeeringDB, where each network maintains its own record.
| Exchange | Participants | Registry carriers peering |
|---|---|---|
IXP.ge | 14 | none in the registry |
Exchange records: PeeringDB.
Colocation facilities
Buildings where networks put equipment. The network count is how many PeeringDB members list a presence there, which shows where capacity in the city sits.
| Facility | Networks present | Address |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud9 Dinamo Arena | 7 | A. Tsereteli Ave 2 |
| NewTelco Tbilisi | 5 | A. Politkovskaia Str. 5 |
| Caucasus Online Datacenter - Tbilisi | 3 | 160, Mikheil Tsinamdzghvrishvili street |
| WORLDBUS | 0 | Isani District, Telavi Street N45a, Apartment N28 |
What a Tbilisi IP address tells you
IXP.ge is the only exchange PeeringDB lists in Tbilisi, and its 14 participants make up the city's entire recorded public peering. Colocation holds slightly more. Four facilities carry 15 network presences between them, with Cloud9 Dinamo Arena at seven networks, NewTelco Tbilisi at five and Caucasus Online Datacenter - Tbilisi at three, while WORLDBUS has none recorded. Georgia's two mobile operators, MagtiCom on AS25249 and Silknet on AS42082, do not appear among the carrier ASNs listed at IXP.ge, so this data does not show them peering in the city.
An address that geolocates to Tbilisi tells you which network announces it, not where the handset or server sits. An operator registers a block once and can announce it from anywhere in its footprint, so a prefix filed against a Tbilisi office can serve subscribers across Georgia. Mobile networks add another step, because MagtiCom and Silknet route subscriber traffic through a small number of gateways, and every device behind one gateway shares its apparent location. Geolocation databases usually copy the operator's own published address for the block, which is why a whole range reads as Tbilisi.
Checking the origin ASN on the specific prefix gets closer to an answer than a city label. AS25249 and AS42082 identify Georgia's mobile operators, and a route originated by either one describes a mobile network rather than a rack in one of the four Tbilisi facilities. The netname and registered holder on the prefix say who asked for the block and what they called it. Where the address belongs to a network present at IXP.ge or at Cloud9 Dinamo Arena, the peering record shows how that network reaches the rest of the internet.
Mobile carriers in Georgia
A mobile address in Tbilisi is routed by one of the country's operators. Each entry lists the operator's ASNs, so you can check which network an address belongs to.
Questions
Which internet exchanges are in Tbilisi?
PeeringDB lists one, IXP.ge, with 14 participants. No other exchange appears for the city in this snapshot. Public peering in Tbilisi sits entirely on that platform, and the rest of the city's recorded network presence is in its four colocation facilities.
Do Georgian mobile carriers peer in Tbilisi?
The registry does not show it. MagtiCom (AS25249) and Silknet (AS42082) are Georgia's mobile operators, but neither ASN appears in the carrier list recorded for IXP.ge. That silence is not proof they are absent from the city, only that PeeringDB records no such peering.
Does an IP that geolocates to Tbilisi mean the device is there?
No. It means the operator's registry record for that block points to Tbilisi and geolocation databases follow it. Mobile subscribers across Georgia can leave through gateways whose addresses read as Tbilisi, so the city label describes the operator's paperwork more than the device.
