Tashkent · Uzbekistan
PeeringDB records three internet exchanges in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. SNS-IX is the best connected with 18 participants, UZ-IX has five and ITI-IX none listed. Six colocation facilities appear in the city, three of them with a network on record. An address geolocating to Tashkent shows where its operator registered the block, not where a device sits.
Internet exchanges in Tashkent
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 |
|---|---|---|
SNS-IX | 18 | none in the registry |
UZ-IX | 5 | none in the registry |
ITI-IX | 0 | 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.

| ITI-IX-T252 | 1 | Yakub koloss,10 str. |

What a Tashkent IP address tells you
SNS-IX carries 18 of the 23 exchange participants PeeringDB counts in Tashkent, which puts most of the city's public peering on a single fabric. UZ-IX records five participants, and ITI-IX has none listed at all. PeeringDB also holds six colocation facilities for the city, among them Comnet Tashkent and Sarkor DC, but only three carry a network on record, one apiece. Documented capacity in Tashkent therefore sits in the exchange memberships rather than in the facility listings. No Uzbek mobile ASN appears in the carrier registry, so nothing here confirms mobile operator peering.
An address that a database places in Tashkent may not be attached to a device in Tashkent. Operators announce address blocks from a registry record, and that record carries one address for the whole allocation, often a head office. Mobile traffic in particular leaves through a small number of gateways, so subscribers spread across the country can share exit addresses that all read as one place. Geolocation providers follow the operator's own published location, so a block registered in Tashkent keeps that label wherever the handset actually is.
Someone checking an address is better off reading the origin ASN and the netname on the specific prefix than trusting the city label. Those fields name the network announcing the block and show how its owner describes it. With 23 exchange participants recorded across the three Tashkent exchanges, the set of networks announcing routes through the city is small enough to look up one by one, and a whois record naming a mobile network tells you more about the connection than any city field does.
Questions
Which internet exchanges are in Tashkent?
PeeringDB lists three. SNS-IX has 18 participants, UZ-IX has five, and ITI-IX has no participants recorded. SNS-IX is the best connected of the three and accounts for most of the 23 exchange memberships registered in the city.
Do Uzbekistan mobile carriers peer in Tashkent?
The carrier registry holds no mobile ASNs for Uzbekistan, and none of the three Tashkent exchanges list a carrier ASN among their participants. That is the registry being silent rather than a denial, since operators can connect privately or buy transit without a PeeringDB entry.
Does an IP that geolocates to Tashkent mean the device is there?
No. The label comes from the address block's registry record and the operator's published location, not from the device. A block registered to a company in Tashkent reads as Tashkent for every customer using it, including ones connecting from elsewhere in Uzbekistan.
