About this network

MTNZ-AS is operated by MTN Zambia, the leading mobile network operator in Zambia.

What it's used for

• The address space carries mobile and data services, evidenced by the reverse DNS record mtn-zm-213-193-037-254.mtnbulksms.co.zm and the registrant netname ORG-MTN2-AFRINIC.
• The AS announces 13312 IPv4 addresses across 5 prefixes while maintaining only 6 observed neighbours, a ratio characteristic of an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.

Notable

• All five announced prefixes are registered to MTN Zambia under the netname ORG-MTN2-AFRINIC, showing full alignment between the registrants and the AS announcer.
• MTN Group acquired 100% of Telecel Zambia in August 2005, successfully relaunching the network as MTN Zambia.
• The inventory consists of five IPv4 prefixes with no IPv6 prefixes announced, reflecting a purely IPv4-based address estate.
