About this network

DHN-BGP-AS2002 is operated by Discovery Health, South Africa's largest medical scheme administrator.

What it's used for

• The address space is registered under the netname ORG-DH1-AFRINIC for Discovery Health, indicating a corporate internal network rather than a public access or transit provider.
• The AS announces 1792 IPv4 addresses across 4 prefixes, with 18 observed neighbours. This ratio of a small, specific address inventory against a moderate number of peering partners is consistent with an internal corporate estate requiring connectivity to various service providers and partners, rather than a large-scale residential or transit network.

Notable

• Three of the four announced prefixes are registered to Discovery Health, while the prefix 206.185.3.0/24 is registered to Cogent Communications, LLC under the netname COGENT-206-185-1-16, suggesting a leased or historically allocated block.
• The address inventory is compact, consisting of one /22 and three /24 blocks, all located in South Africa.
